New ACC to Lead Elite CNC Firearms Unit

The Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) has appointed a new Assistant Chief Constable (ACC) who will oversee a top-tier, highly trained workforce. Their mission: to earn the trust and respect of communities, stakeholders, and partners across policing and the nuclear industries.

Commander of 1,300 Armed Officers

This powerful role also puts the ACC in charge of all operations involving CNC’s 1,300 Authorised Firearms Officers. Their reach extends beyond the UK, managing sensitive international escort duties and domestic operations alike.

Driving Ambition in Senior Leadership

Working within the senior executive team, the ACC joins a group brimming with ambition for both the organisation and its staff. Together, they aim to push CNC forward at a vital moment.

Bold Plans for the Future

CNC’s Strategic Plan 2023-26 lays down bold priorities—living core values, serving the public, and delivering their mission swiftly and effectively.

The Civil Nuclear Police Authority (CNPA), CNC’s governing body, seeks a dynamic leader who can boost confidence, drive change, and lead by example in challenging times.

Chief Constable Simon Chesterman said: “As an armed national police force with policing units across England and Scotland, we carry out a vital role in protecting national infrastructure and supporting the wider police family.”

“The successful applicant will be joining a unique police force at an exciting time as we expand our operations.”
