APPENDIX 2

AWARDS SUMMARY LONG SERVICE AND GOOD CONDUCT AWARDS Police Long Service and Good Conduct Medals

It was announced in Parliament on 19th January 2010 that the Police Long Service and Good Conduct Medal (PLSGCM) qualifying period has been reduced from 22 to 20 years. The Home Office advise that an officer must have been in service on 19th January 2010 and have completed 20 years plus to receive the medal. The PLSGCM cannot be backdated.

The Police Long Service and Good Conduct Medal is awarded in accordance with Home Office Circular 37/1997 after officers have completed 20 years pensionable service, and their character and service is certified to have been very good.

A copy of the nomination form is sent to Professional Standards department for them to carry out checks prior to being signed off and forwarded to the Home Office. If there are any reasons why an officer should not receive their medal it will not be applied for until the issue has been resolved.

The Professional Standards department will notify the officer directly of the reason for any delays for not receiving medals which has been identified due to Professional Standards matters.

Application for medals are made monthly (after the qualification date). Once the Home Office has approved the recommendation the Chief Constable will write to officers enclosing a piece of medal ribbon. Officers in possession or issued with a tunic may sew medal ribbon on to tunic with immediate effect – see wearing of medal decorations. Recipients will be invited to the next available Ceremony (space permitting) following receipt of medal from the Royal Mint.

Special Constabulary Long Service and Good Conduct Awards

Special Constabulary Medals are awarded after nine years service and their service and hours worked has achieved an appropriate standard.

The first bar to the medal is applied after 19 years service and the second bar after 29 years and every 10 years thereafter.

Applications are made in the same manner as for Police Long Service and Good Conduct Medals.

CERTIFICATES OF SERVICE (ALL PERSONNEL)

Police officers and members of police staff receive 20, 30 and 40-year certificates of (paid) Lincolnshire Police service signed by the Chief Constable. Service as a Special Constable or Volunteer Cadet does not count towards this award.

Recognising Previous Service

The Force recognises that there are situations where officers and staff leave their role and re- join the Force at a later date in a different role. In order to honour ‘continued service’ the Force will treat continuous service as ‘employment in both police officer and police staff roles, where a break is taken’ providing that:

. Any break in service is no more than 6 months; . There is no substantive employment with a second employer within that 6 months.

- 1 - NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED This will be implemented with effect from 1 May 2016 and will not be applied to any retrospective cases.

Where staff have taken a career break for more than 6 months, cumulative service not including the break will be used.

A gift will be given in High Street Shopping Vouchers as follows –

20 years - £50.00 30 years - £75.00 40 years - £100.00

For police staff, certificates are presented at a Long Service and Good Conduct Medal / Awards presentation together with Long Service and Good Conduct Medals for police officers and members of the Special Constabulary.

For Police Officers, certificates are presented locally by Head of Department as they receive their 20 year medals at the Force LS & GCM/Awards presentation.
