The Queen's Police Medal Previous/Next Award

Instituted in 1954, the Queen's Police Medal was intended for issue to members of recognised police forces in Britain and Commonwealth countries.

It is awarded for 'acts of exceptional courage and skill at the cost of their lives' or for the 'exhibition of conspicuous devotion to duty'.

This medal replaced the King's Police and Fire Service Medal and was in turn replaced in Australian honours by the Australian Police Medal.
