The Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) (Welsh: ''Heddlu Sifil Niwclear'') is a special police force responsible for providing law enforcement and security at or within 5 km of ''any relevant nuclear site'' and for nuclear materials in transit within the United Kingdom.〔ss.56 and 198 Energy Act 2004〕 The CNC was established on 1 April 2005, replacing the former Atomic Energy Authority Constabulary established in 1955. The CNC does not guard the United Kingdom's nuclear weapons; this role is the responsibility of the British Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defence Police. ==Equipment== The CNC operates with the majority of its constables acting as Authorised Firearms Officers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What do the CNC do? )〕 Many of the officers can be seen patrolling their respective sites carrying firearms such as assault rifles and pistols. All officers complete firearms training as per the National Firearms Training Curriculum. This curriculum is also followed to train Operational, Tactical and Strategic commanders in the force along with Tactical Advisors and Post Incident Managers. The core weapon system for CNC AFOs is the Heckler & Koch G36, as well as this all officers are equipped with Glock 17 sidearms. All officers are additionally equipped with less-lethal weapons for use against threats that do not justify a firearms response. Such options include PAVA, Taser, ASP and Baton Launchers. The uniform of the force is similar to that of other police forces in the UK. The current uniform replaced the traditional Metropolitan Police-style uniforms in July 2008. A new, more practical uniform will be worn from October 2015. Officers wear body armour similar to that of other UK Police Authorised Firearms Officers, with the distinction that CNC body armour continues to be unfit for purpose and will be replaced in the near future, at significant cost. CNC officers are also trained in the use of CBRN equipment. All CNC firearms officers are trained to D13 standards to administer medical care. Additionally some officers are trained to Tactical Care Officer standard and carry additional equipment such as paramedic bergans and defibrillators. These officers regularly attend off site incidents as first responders to render aid to injured parties. The force uses a large number of Ford S-Max patrol and response vehicles, as well as a number of Mitsubishi Shogun patrol vehicles along with OVIK Crossway ballistic protection vehicles. The force also runs a number of BMW X5s for use as escort vehicles. Driver training is provided to national standards at Police Scotland Headquarters. The vehicle fleet is managed by the Chiltern Transport Consortium, led by Thames Valley Police. All are registered with 'OU' vehicle registration plate area prefixes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Civil Nuclear Constabulary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
