West Yorkshire Police's Chief Constable received her CBE earlier today from Her Majesty The Queen.
Chief Constable Dee Collins was named in the Queen's Birthday Honours list back in June this year.
She was recognised for her services to policing and to the British Association of Women in Policing (BAWP), which she chairs.
The Chief Constable has also taken a national lead on gender and equality for the National Police Chiefs’ Council.
She said: “I am humbled and honoured to have received the CBE this morning from Her Majesty the Queen.
“This is in recognition of all of the hard working and committed people I have had the pleasure to work alongside throughout my service, and for the work I and others have been undertaking around inclusion.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my service.”
