peter monahan Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Interesting qualifications:"Awarded to police forces for service in harsh enviormental conditions, or conditions of other special difficulty".Without research, but recognizing some of the bar titles, UI take it these are awarded for counterinsurgency duties in states where there are separatist movements and/or terrorist-guerilla-freedom-fighters. Nobody's idea of a nice duty to have! Edited December 15, 2012 by peter monahan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
