Peace Officer Exemplary Service Medal

 Peace Officer Exemplary Service Medal Award

The Peace Officer Exemplary Service Medal was created by the Governor General of Canada in June 2004, to recognize peace officers who have served in an exemplary manner, characterized by good conduct, industry and efficiency.

Ontario Conservation Officer recipients must have completed 20 years of exemplary service as a peace officer.

The Peace Officer Exemplary Service Medal consists of a circular medal, with a shield set on a star on a maple leaf.

* The words “Exemplary Service — Services distingués” form a circle around the maple leaf. On the back of the medal appears Her Majesty’s Cipher.
* A bar may be awarded for every subsequent period of 10 years of qualifying service.
* The Medal is suspended by a ribbon featuring a band of dark blue at the outer edge, flanked by a narrower band of light blue and then a band of gold with a single wide band of green at the centre.
