Civil Nuclear Police Authority

CNPA

The CNPA operates under the strategic direction of the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC). The function of the CNPA is to maintain the efficiency and effectiveness of the CNC. 

The Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) has a very exclusive role. Positioned between providing protection for civil nuclear licensed sites and safe-guarding nuclear materials, nuclear site operators, policing and nuclear regulators as well as interlinking with Home Office forces, the CNC has a policing responsibility with a difference.

The Energy Act 2004 created the Civil Nuclear Police Authority (CNPA) and set out powers to members of the Civil Nuclear Constabulary. See here for more details.
