The current Dubai Police Series is, I think, the 3rd series in the development of the Dubai Police awards and consist of, subject to confirmation:

• Order of Dubai Police - 5 Grades
• Order of Bravery - 4 Grades
• Order of Appreciation - 2 Grades 
• Order of Cooperative Security - 2 Grades
• Medal of Distinguished Service - 10, 20, 30 & 40 years - two grades for each
• Medal of Loyal Service - 10, 20, 30 & 40 years - two grades for each

To date I have been unable to ascertain why/what the grade subdivision represents for the last two awards.

Kind regards,

Owain

Jasmor58,

The First Series, dating from the 1970's, consisted of only three single class awards:

• Order of Bravery
• Order of Merit
• Order of Loyal Service.

This was later expanded into a Second Series:

• Order of Bravery - 3 Classes
• Order of Excellence - 3 Classes
• Order / Medal of Meritorious Long Service - for 10, 20 & 30 Years
• Medal of Long Service - for 10, 20 & 30 Years

Kind regards,

Owain

Owain,

Seems to be really quite complicated!

Ha! The UAE as a whole has in its relatively brief existence a vast selection of awards:

As a nation it has State, Military and Ministry of Interior awards - various and expanding series of such awards.

Some of the constituent Emirates have their own series of awards:

• Dubai - Police
• Sharjah - Police
• Ras Al Khaima - State
• Um Ul Qwain - State

...and prior to the and over the formation of the Emirates there were specific awards for the Trucial Oman Scouts, Abu Dhabi Defence Force, Abu Dhabi Police, Dubai Defence Force and Union Defence Force.

If you need more detail OMSA has published some of articles of mine on these awards.

Kind regards, Owain
