West Mercia Police have elected a new chairwoman for its police authority.
Sheila Blagg from Worcestershire said she was looking forward to working to make the area a safe place to live, work and visit.
She takes over from outgoing chairman Paul Deneen who will continue to work for the authority in various roles and also at a national level.
The West Mercia force covers Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Shropshire.
Mrs Blagg has been a member of the authority since 2005.
The police authority is an independent body of local people who ensure West Mercia Police provide an effective service.
