The Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) has responded to today's announcement of funding for Sizewell C nuclear power plant.
Following today's announcement that the Government will fund the development of Sizewell C nuclear power plant, Assistant Chief Constable Michael Vance, lead for Operations, said: "The Civil Nuclear Constabulary is the specialist armed police force which protects civil nuclear and other designated non-nuclear sites across the UK and nuclear material in transit.
"In partnership with EDF, and as required by the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR), the CNC already provides high levels of protective security on Sizewell B. We stand ready to evolve our operational capability and capacity to protect Sizewell C as it develops, now and into the future."
