Civil Nuclear Constabulary

The DTI’s Quinquenial Review of the UKAEA Constabulary in 2002 set out a recommendation for the transfer of the Constabulary from the UKAEA to a statutory Police Authority. The review concluded that there would be significant benefits in the Constabulary operating under a “stand-alone” basis. Under the provisions of the Energy Act 2004, a new Civil Nuclear Police Authority (CNPA) has now been created, and it took responsibility for the renamed Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) with effect from 1 April 2005.

The Authority contains independent membership, as well as representatives of the main nuclear operators. Representatives from DTI, OCNS and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) observe the Authority’s proceedings.
