BRONZE STAR
Awarded by the Police Commissioner to sworn members who distinguish
themselves by displaying exceptionally meritorious service to the department
and to the community. The sworn member must have displayed abilities and
exercised judgment well above the expected standard and thereby contributed
materially to the success of a major mission, investigation or endeavor. It may
be awarded for an act involving personal danger under aggravated or hostile
circumstances and for protecting or saving the life of another.
LIFE SAVING AWARD
Awarded by the Police Commissioner to sworn members who save the life
of another person by decisive action. Situations include: CPR, Heimlich
Maneuver; prompt application of first aid in potentially fatal situations; and
any other act that saves a life and is not strictly a police related function.
COMMENDATION
To merit this award, the act of service must be accomplished or performed in
a manner above what is normally expected. It must be sufficient to distinguish
the individual member above those of comparable positions and responsibility
and reflect a highly credible accomplishment. The award may be given for
submitting an adopted suggestion which constitutes a definite contribution
to the department, such as, invention or innovation resulting in an improved
design, procedure, organization or relating to crime prevention or crime
resistance. It may be awarded when members have displayed extraordinary
intelligence, coverage and ability in effecting arrests, preventing a crime or
solving a case.
