Roads policing: Sizewell Project
Sizewell Nuclear Power Station currently has two power stations. A new nuclear power station, Sizewell C, is under development.
The main development site for Sizewell C is located on the Suffolk coast, immediately to the north-east of Leiston and approximately halfway between Felixstowe and Lowestoft. Suffolk Constabulary is looking to increase its roads policing team to provide the additional policing requirements as a result of the project.
We are seeking applications from officers to join a roads policing team specifically dedicated to the Sizewell project.
Suffolk Constabulary is a highly regarded police force that has consistently received good inspection reports. We are innovative, forward thinking and take an evidence-based approach to policing. We are proud of our workforce and equally proud to police the variety that is the county of Suffolk. The county is full of differences, from vibrant towns to some of Britain’s most sought after coastal resorts, part of a coastline stretching for 50 miles. There is something for everyone no matter what your and your family’s interests are; live music festivals, historic towns, idyllic coastal towns and plenty of beautiful places for outdoor activities.
