Mr Robins, a Queen’s Police Medal recipient, was elected by the panel as the proposed candidate of the Police and Crime Commissioner.
Chief Constable Robins, who has been in the police since 1990, said: ““I am extremely proud and honoured to be the next Chief Constable.
“Having spent my whole policing service in West Yorkshire, this is the culmination of an incredible and fulfilling journey for me.
“My enthusiasm for policing and for West Yorkshire is as keen today, as it was on the first day I joined.”
Police and Crime Commissioner Mark Burns-Williamson added: “John will come to this role with a huge amount of knowledge and experience of the diversity, opportunities and challenges facing West Yorkshire.”
