Meritorious Service Medal Introduced for Police 17 October 2013 Statement by Police Commissioner Peter Marshall Meritorious Service Medal introduced for Police Police Commissioner Peter Marshall today welcomed the announcement from the Ministers of Police and Defence that Royal approval has been given for a Meritorious Service Medal (MSM) to be introduced. “The MSM is the culmination of extensive research and consultation within Police, Defence and at Government level. It’s a wonderful new Medal that as Commissioner I can award to staff who are providing an outstanding service and achievement to New Zealand Police and the communities in which they work.” Commissioner Marshall expects to present the first Police recipients within six months. “This is a prestigious new medal which fills a gap between existing internal Awards and higher Royal Honours including New Zealand Bravery Awards. “There is no set number of New Zealand Police Meritorious Service Medals to be awarded each year, but the numbers won’t be high to reflect the special value they hold within Police. This Medal is an award to aspire to –and may be awarded to any Police employee irrespective of their rank or role or powers. The silver medal features the profile of the Queen on the obverse, and the New Zealand Police crest on the reverse. The ribbon has two crimson stripes the same as the New Zealand Police Long Service and Good Conduct ribbon, a Prussian Blue stripe which is a traditional Police colour – and four yellow gold stripes signifying excellence. Images of the Police Meritorious Service Medal (obverse on the left; close-up of the reverse on the right) The images are courtesy of the New Zealand Police National Headquarters. Royal Warrant The Royal Warrant for the New Zealand Police Meritorious Service Medal can be viewed as a pdf file (251 kb). The Royal Warrant can be viewed as text / html at http://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/2013/0430/latest/DLM5287301.html (on the Parliamentary Counsel Office's New Zealand Legislation website). Regulations The Regulations for the New Zealand Police Meritorious Service Medal will be made publicly available after they have been signed by the Governor-General and the Minister of Police. Designer The New Zealand Herald of Arms, Mr Phillip O’Shea, LVO, designed the NZ Police MSM and its ribbon. Order of Wear The position of the NZ Police MSM in the order of wear is still to be confirmed by the Governor-General. It is expected that the NZ Police MSM will be worn immediately after the NZ Defence MSM. No Post Nominal The award of the New Zealand Police Meritorious Service Medal does not confer a right to use a post nominal.

From http://medals.nzdf.mil.nz/news/default.htm#dmsm2 Defence Meritorious Service Medal Introduced 17 October 2013 Statement by Lieutenant General Rhys Jones, Chief of Defence Force I’m pleased to announce the introduction of a new medal - the Defence Meritorious Service Medal (DMSM). The Defence Meritorious Service Medal will recognise outstanding service across the whole of the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF). It can be awarded to all ranks of NZDF, Regular and Reserve Forces and civilians, regardless of the recipient’s rank, grade, Service affiliation, or length of service. The Medal can also be awarded posthumously. The DMSM recognises the changing environment that Defence Force personnel work in now and will in the future. It fills a significant gap that has existed for some time in the range of honours and awards available to the NZDF. The DMSM may be awarded by Chief of Defence Force in recognition of an act, conduct or service that, in the opinion of CDF, is outstanding and worthy of medallic recognition. In the hierarchy of awards for distinguished and meritorious service, the DMSM comes after the New Zealand Order of Merit and Distinguished Service Decoration and before the Chief of Defence Force and Service Chief’s Commendations. The DMSM replaces the New Zealand Meritorious Service Medal (MSM). The MSM continues to be officially recognised and can still be worn by recipients. The Commissioner of Police, Peter Marshall, will also inform his staff of the introduction of a new Police Meritorious Service Medal which is also being announced today. New Zealand Police and NZDF worked closely with the Government for approval to be given in a Royal Warrant signed by the Queen, and Regulations that will be signed by the Governor-General to ensure the medals could be struck and awarded. Lieutenant General Rhys Jones Chief of Defence Force Images of the Defence Meritorious Service Medal (obverse on the left; reverse on the right) Royal Warrant The Royal Warrant for the New Zealand Defence Meritorious Service Medal can be viewed as a pdf file (251 kb). The Royal Warrant can be viewed as text / html at http://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/2013/0429/latest/DLM5287201.html (on the Parliamentary Counsel Office's New Zealand Legislation website). Regulations The Regulations for the New Zealand Defence Meritorious Service Medal will be made publicly available after they have been signed by the Governor-General and the Minister of Defence. About the ribbon The colours of the ribbon for the DMSM have the following origins and meanings: Historically, crimson has been used in the design of long service and merit awards since 1830 in the British Army and since the 1887 for distinctive New Zealand military medals, e.g. the New Zealand Long and Efficient Service Medal (1887-1931), the original and 1985 New Zealand Meritorious Service Medal. The ribbon of the New Zealand Long and Efficient Service Medal (1887-1931) was crimson with two narrow white central stripes. The ribbon of the New Zealand Meritorious Service Medal is crimson with a green central stripe. This design has been amended for the DMSM ribbon by the addition of a narrow white stripe either side of the central green stripe and a narrow yellow stripe at each edge. The colours have been selected to provide a link with the two MSMs awarded in New Zealand and the historic New Zealand Long and Efficient Service Medal (1887-1931) Yellow alludes to achievement or brilliance. In heraldry, yellow also often refers to gold. Green is a colour associated with all three Services (Navy, Army and Air). Designer The New Zealand Herald of Arms, Mr Phillip O’Shea, LVO, designed the DMSM and its ribbon. Mr O’Shea has designed most New Zealand awards instituted since 1973 including the Queen’s Service Order and the New Zealand Order of Merit, and campaign medals such as the New Zealand General Service Medal 1992, New Zealand General Service Medal 2002 and the East Timor Medal, as well as the New Zealand Operational Service Medal. Order of Wear The position of the DMSM in the order of wear is still to be confirmed by the Governor-General. It is expected that the DMSM will be worn immediately after the MSM. No Post Nominal The award of the New Zealand Defence Meritorious Service Medal does not confer a right to use a post nominal.
