About the CNC > Who Are the CNC?

Structure

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 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.
