POLICE HONOR MEDALS

Police honor medals are prestigious awards given to law enforcement officers who have demonstrated exceptional bravery, valor, dedication, and outstanding service in the line of duty. These medals are a symbol of recognition for their unwavering commitment to protecting and serving their communities.

Police honor medals come in various types and classifications, each representing a specific level of achievement or category of service. Some common police honor medals include the Medal of Valor, Distinguished Service Medal, Lifesaving Medal, and Meritorious Service Medal, among others. Each medal carries its own criteria and significance, representing different acts of heroism, exemplary service, or exceptional contributions to the field of law enforcement.

These medals are typically made with high-quality materials and feature intricate designs that reflect the honor and dedication associated with police service. They often incorporate symbols such as badges, stars, or shields, representing the authority and responsibility of law enforcement officers.

Police honor medals are usually presented during formal ceremonies or special events, where the recipients are recognized and celebrated for their exceptional contributions to public safety and crime prevention. These ceremonies serve as a tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of law enforcement officers and inspire others to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and service.

Receiving a police honor medal is a significant achievement and a testament to the recipient's unwavering commitment to their duty and the communities they serve. These medals hold deep meaning for the recipients and their families, symbolizing the sacrifices made in the pursuit of justice and public safety.

Police honor medals embody the values of integrity, courage, and selflessness that are essential in law enforcement. They serve as a source of inspiration and pride, reminding both the recipients and the public of the dedication and sacrifice exhibited by police officers in keeping our communities safe.

How does the Spanish national Police Dedication Medal look like?

According to BOE 2011/05/30 / PDFS / BOE-A-2011-9387 Police Dedication Medals of XX years and XXV years must measure 40x40 mm., And that of XXX years should measure 45x45 mm. INSIGPOL only sells medals according to BOE legislation. In other stores you may find different measures from those regulated on BOE, for example dedication medal of XXX 30 years in the same size as those of 20 and 25 years. This is an error because the 30-year-old should have a different measure according to BOE.

Sometimes the Police merit medals are granted to people who have nothing to do with the police field, for example, journalists, entrepreneurs, athletes, and even mechanical in some cases, but above all, especially politicians are granted them.

To avoid this, we should differenciate dedication medals from merit medals, of what are favors done by people who from outside the police area do actions or have behaviors of extraordinary relief that will result in the prestige of the body of the civil guard or of the National Police. But the we ask ourselves a question:
