CNPA Board visit Griffin Park

Members of the Civil Nuclear Police Authority (CNPA) Board toured the world-class Griffin Park Tactical Training Centre in Sellafield as part of their May Board meeting.

Whilst touring Griffin Park, Board members were invited to spend time with the dogs section and received a firearms demonstration at the Tactical Training Centre, which is home to the largest 360-degree live fire range in Europe.

Sir Craig Mackey QPM, Interim Chairman of the CNPA, said: ”Griffin Park is a state-of-the-art facility and a valuable asset in the training of future generations of officers.

”It was a privilege to have been able to view the world class training that is delivered at the centre first-hand.”

Sgt Andrew Bailey, Firearms Instructor at Sellafield, said ”We are proud of the quality of training we are able to offer at Griffin Park.

“This tour was an excellent opportunity to show the role our Authorised Firearms Officers (AFO)s and dog units play in keeping our nuclear sites and the public safe.”
