    BATON ROUGE POLICE DEPARTMENT General Order Effective Date Revised Date No.113 11-01-1994 10-14-2019 Subject: Awards and Merit Reviewed 10/10/19 POLICY It is the policy of this Department to actively seek to recognize individual and collective acts above and beyond an officer's or units’ assigned duties. This policy is designed not only to recognize heroic acts, but to reward those officers whose performance is outstanding and those who develop innovative and ingenious methods of furthering the goals and objectives of the Department. The purpose of the Meritorious Awards Program is to create criteria and procedure for recognition of commendable acts, acts of valor, the saving of human life, exceptional service, and outstanding achievements performed by members of the Department while in the service of the community. PROCEDURES I. Meritorious Awards Review Board Established A. The Department has established a system of recommendation and review for acts that fit the general criteria above. It is in the best interest of the Department that outstanding officers be recognized so that their accomplishments set an example for all to follow. It is the responsibility of each and every officer to bring such acts to the Department's attention through the recommendation process. B. It is the Department's responsibility to document each recommendation to assure that no act fitting the enumerated criteria goes unrewarded, and to maintain the integrity of the awards so that their value is not lost or demeaned. To that end, the Meritorious Award Review Board has been established. C. Those chosen to administer this program will not take this responsibility lightly; it is a serious task.

  • 1Jock Haswell, the British Army: a Concise History (London: Thames and Hudson, 1975), 9- 10
    CHAPTER 3 THE SOLDIERS: THE BRITISH FORCES The British forces that fought against the Jacobite forces during the rebellions were essentially two different and diametrically opposed armies. Although armed and initially trained the same, the two forces were very different. The first force to fight in the rebellions was the militia, and the second was made up of the Regulars in the British Standing Army. The former was trained yet untested and out of practice; while the latter was brimming with experienced veterans from continental warfare. This chapter will begin with a brief history of the standing army in Britain which will explain the existence of the militia; then it will explore the weapons and tactics of the British forces which fought against the Highland Charge. The British land forces had their beginnings in the eleventh century A.D. when the Normans brought the feudal system to England. Under this system, the Anglo-Saxon fyrd developed. The fyrd was a local military force composed of all free landowners between the ages of sixteen and sixty who served approximately two months per year and who could be called upon for defense at a moments notice. King Alfred, who reigned in southern England from 871 to 899, divided the country into military districts and required landowners who owned a specified amount of land to arm themselves.1 This was the beginning of the English militia, which was relied upon for the defense of the home front for the next eight centuries. The militia units were called upon during the threat of invasions, internal insurrections, and for service in Ireland.2 For the large-scale wars during the Middle Ages however, armies were raised for the campaigns or the duration of 1Jock Haswell, The British Army: A Concise History (London: Thames and Hudson, 1975), 9- 10.

  • Deadlands Armory
    Rifles Part I. Muzzles, Muskets & Minié Balls Loading a Flintlock Rifle For the first part of the nineteenth century, professional armies fought with the same smooth- bore flintlock muskets as their fathers and grandfathers. It generally takes an experienced soldier between twenty and thirty seconds to properly load a flintlock musket. First, the user has to unseal his pre-measured cartridge of gunpowder, which is usually contained in a paper or linen packet which is bitten open. (Because of the salty nature of gunpowder, this builds up a terrible thirst over the course of a battle, making potable water an essential part of any armed conflict.) Once the gunpowder is poured into the muzzle, the shooter inserts the lead ball, which is encased in a lubricated bit of cloth called “wadding.” Pulling the ramrod from its forestock slot, the shooter tamps the ball home, ensuring firm contact with the propellant charge. The ramrod is then returned to the forestock—unless a panicked soldier leaves it inside the barrel, to be fired along with the bullet! To fire the musket, the hammer is pulled to half-cock. A small pinch of gunpowder is placed in the “priming pan” located on the right side of the musket. The pan is closed to secure the primer, which brings a metal flange called the “frizzen” into striking position in front of the hammer. The hammer is fully cocked, the musket is aimed, and the trigger is pulled. The hammer dashes the flint against the frizzen, simultaneously creating a spark and pushing open the pan to expose the primer.

  • 1 the Most Honourable Order of the Bath Gcb / Kcb / Cb X
    THE MOST HONOURABLE ORDER OF THE BATH GCB / KCB / CB X - CB - 2020 PAGES: 59 UPDATED: 01 September 2020 Prepared by: Surgeon Captain John Blatherwick, CM, CStJ, OBC, CD, BSc, MD, FRCP(C), LLD (Hon) ===================================================================================================================== ===================================================================================================================== 1 THE MOST HONOURABLE ORDER OF THE BATH (GCB / KCB / CB) When the Most Illustrious Order of St. Patrick, National Order for Ireland was phased out with the death of the Duke of Gloucester in 1974, the Order of the Bath became the third highest Order of Chivalry. Merit and Service were to be the conditions for admission to this Order as opposed to most admissions to the Garter and Thistle being because of birth and nobility. The Order was founded in 1399 and probably took its name from the preparations for the knighthood ceremony where new knights would purify their inner souls by fasting, vigils and prayer, and then cleansing their body by immersing themselves in a bath. The Order was revived in 1725 as a military order with one class of Knights (K.B.). In 1815, the Order was enlarged to three classes: Knights Grand Cross (GCB) Knights Commander (KCB) Companions (CB) There was a civil division of the Knights Grand Cross while all others were to be military officers. In 1847, a civil division for all three classes was established with numbers set as follows: GCB 95 total 68 military 27 civil KCB 285 total 173 military 112 civil CB 1,498 total 943 military 555 civil The motto of the order is " Tria Juncta in Uno " (Three joined in one) which either refers to the three golden crowns within a golden circle worn on the badge, or the three crowns as symbolic of the Union of England, France and Scotland, or the Union of England, Scotland and Ireland or the Holy Trinity.

  • JSP 761, Honours and Awards in the Armed Forces. Part 1
    JSP 761 Honours and Awards in the Armed Forces Part 1: Directive JSP 761 Pt 1 (V5.0 Oct 16) Foreword People lie at the heart of operational capability; attracting and retaining the right numbers of capable, motivated individuals to deliver Defence outputs is critical. This is dependent upon maintaining a credible and realistic offer that earns and retains the trust of people in Defence. Part of earning and retaining that trust, and being treated fairly, is a confidence that the rules and regulations that govern our activity are relevant, current, fair and transparent. Please understand, know and use this JSP, to provide that foundation of rules and regulations that will allow that confidence to be built. JSP 761 is the authoritative guide for Honours and Awards in the Armed Services. It gives instructions on the award of Orders, Decorations and Medals and sets out the list of Honours and Awards that may be granted; detailing the nomination and recommendation procedures for each. It also provides information on the qualifying criteria for and permission to wear campaign medals, foreign medals and medals awarded by international organisations. It should be read in conjunction with Queen’s Regulations and DINs which further articulate detailed direction and specific criteria agreed by the Committee on the Grant of Honours, Decorations and Medals [Orders, Decorations and Medals (both gallantry and campaign)] or Foreign and Commonwealth Office [foreign medals and medals awarded by international organisations].
