Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire
Serena Margaret KENNEDY KPM DL – Lately Chief Constable, Merseyside Police. For services to Policing
As the first female Chief Constable of her force, she guided it through some of the most challenging periods in its history. Under her leadership, the force retained its HMICFRS position as top performing metropolitan force and ranked 9th overall in England and Wales. Her leadership informed national debate on reforming police communications, and her evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee shaped new government guidance on transparency, now issued to all forces. As the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) lead for Prevention, she focused on reducing harm, offending, and demand through partnership-based problem solving. She led the huge integrity screening project – the largest ever – for the NPCC, and worked with the Home Office to embed a long-term capability for integrity screening to strengthen public trust.
Professor Sarah Lucina HACKMAN – Chair of Forensic Anthropology and Head of Discipline, Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification, University of Dundee. For services to Forensic Anthropology and Disaster Victim Identification
She is a global expert who has changed the way that mass fatality events in the UK are investigated, also leading novel research that has seen child sexual abusers brought to justice and removed from society. She designed, implemented and evaluated training programmes in both forensic anthropology and disaster victim identification (DVI), when no such professional approach existed. In 2007, she designed, taught and implemented the first DVI professional training programme, leading to the first ever textbook in DVI and to her becoming a ‘go to’ advisor for Interpol and other global investigative authorities.
