Policy
The Medal of Honor may be awarded to any MPD employee for an act of outstanding bravery or heroism. Demonstrated unselfishness, courage, and the immediate high risk of death or serious physical injury would characterize such an act. The award may also be given posthumously to an employee who has died while involved in action of demonstrated heroism.
The Medal of Honor sworn recipient shall receive a commemorative medal with a light blue ribbon, and a blue uniform bar. The Medal of Honor civilian recipient shall receive a plaque.
