<p>The Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and the Civil Nuclear
Constabulary undertook a joint assessment of the effect of having a Civil Nuclear
Constabulary retirement age of 65 or higher in 2015. This analysis considered the
potential effects of an increase in the Civil Nuclear Constabulary retirement age
on both national security and individual officer safety.</p><p> </p><p>Civil Nuclear
Constabulary Officers face rigorous testing to determine deployability and officers
are firearms trained and tested to College of Policing Standards. Officers who joined
the force post- 2011 are already subject to rigorous fitness standards, and following
a Chief Constable’s Direction in Autumn 2015, these fitness standards are being extended
to the remaining workforce. Capability and not age are the determining factors for
deployment.</p><p> </p>
