New Deputy Chief Constable appointed

The CNC is pleased to announce the appointment of Stephen Martin as our new Deputy Chief Constable (DCC).

Stephen joined us on Monday (9/5) and has almost 34 years of experience as a police officer in Northern Ireland, including holding three separate Assistant Chief Constable portfolios throughout his career.

In his most recent role as T/Deputy Chief Constable, Stephen was responsible for corporate governance, professional standards, organisational change and performance.

Outside of policing, Stephen is also the non-executive Chair of the Irish Football Association and sits on the Prince’s Trust Northern Ireland advisory committee.

DCC Martin said: “I am delighted to be appointed as the Deputy Chief Constable of the Civil Nuclear Constabulary. I very much look forward to working with all my new colleagues around Great Britain in their critical mission of safeguarding the nation’s nuclear interests. I can see already that this is a progressive police service with an ambitious workforce and an exciting future.”

Chief Constable Simon Chesterman said: “Stephen’s wealth of experience in armed policing, and his ability to engage with a broad range of stakeholders to achieve organisational objectives will enable him to hit the ground running in his new role. He will be a tremendous asset to the CNC as we pursue our ambitions for the future of the organisation.”
