The ceremony was held at the Force’s state-of-the-art Carr Gate training facility on Friday night.

The West Yorkshire Policing Awards recognises exceptional performance within the Force, under categories such as extraordinary public service, protection of vulnerable victims, crime investigation and bravery.

Temporary Chief Constable Dee Collins said: “These awards event is our opportunity to recognise those whose single and collective contributions represent the finest traditions of policing in West Yorkshire.

“I want to pay personal tribute to every member of our policing family who work tirelessly, all year round, to keep our communities safer and feeling safer, never forgetting their families and friends who support them to do their very best. Our Force faces many challenges at the moment, and it is therefore incredibly important that we value and thank everyone who plays their part towards policing.”
