Policy

The appeals process for an MPD Awards Committee decision is as follows:

After the MPD Awards Committee makes a decision regarding an award request and it has been processed by the Chief’s Administrative Assistant, an appeal can be initiated by the Commander who processed the award request. The appeal shall be submitted in the form of a letter to the Awards Committee Chairperson from the Commander. (06/09/15)

The Awards Committee Chairperson shall review the appeal with the Awards Committee. The committee will:

  • Stand on their original award decision; or
  • Concur with the appeal and change their award decision; or
  • Request further detail from the Commander or his/her designee within ten days of a committee meeting, and review the decision based on the additional information. 

A modified awards decision will then be forwarded to the Chief’s Office. Once this appeals process has been completed, there will be no further action taken by the Awards Committee.
