Ooohh - got a few bites there from our internationally recognised and lauded CNC colleagues.

Go on then, catch me parking illegally another twice and whatcha gonna do? Ban me off site for three months for being a naughty boy?

And I notice you've all managed to learn the phrases "protecting our lives", "keeping us safe" and " we just make it (the job) look easy"

Yes I remember when the loose cannon went off - you very ably guarded the approaches to the site and nothing more.

I just wonder how fast you'd react to a real incident outside of a training exercise.

Its idiots like derek that give the site a bad name. Also, if the site has 15,ooo people on it, these are local people so the volume of public that cumbria would support remains unchanged. Same old local news making a mountain out of a mole hill to sell a storey, any excuse to use the name sellafield.

A very interesting comment about real police and toy town. Now last time I checked I didn't have limited powers. We are a national police force who have a role in protecting both people and nuclear material. May I also add that we are not a busy force but when the wheel came off in 2010, the boys and girls from toy town were willing to make the ultimate decision to stop an 'active shooter'. Hope this clears things up marra's and sleep safe.

Derek - Perhaps if Sellafield staff didn't report such crimes as "a magazine has been stolen off my desk" and "a pack of cigarettes have gone from my locker", then both Cumbria Police and the CNC would have a lot more time on their hands to go about their core roles. You should leave reporting these kind of things for Atlas where maybe you'll rack up enough points for a weekend break or a new bike.

Derek, there is an on going plan for the CNC,your comments show that you know little or nothing of what that plan is or the CNC officers duties.... if you do a little research, I say LITTLE, because we dont want to stretch your mind too much, you will get a rough idea of the CNC's future and their part in protecting nuclear facilities and your life.

Rubbish - there are enough CNC Nuclear Police officers on site to deal with anything.

They are continually recruiting and (by the way) have also been relieved of their duties at the entrance gates. This job has been taken over by Mitie.

No real need for the real police to do anything around Sellafield. Unless, of course, the Toytown police only have limited powers.
