dpk Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Hello All= I am seeking any information on and particularly images of the Lincolnshire Police Chief Constable's Ceommendation and Star award.This is awarded for Bravery or Outstanding Operational Achievements, and takes the form of a parchment Certificate of Commedation and a four-pointed embroidered badge worn on the lower left tunic sleeve. All I can find is a very low quality image on the internet but it is too low a resolution to be meaningful. Any info most welcome!

dpk Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 There were several similar style badges issued by various UK police forces- usually for acts of bravery where it was not sufficient for something like the KPM, and when the force didn't have a bravery medal to award. Examples are the 1867 Birkenhead BoroughPolice Merit Badge usually awarded for bravery (I don't have an image), and the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary Chief Constable's Commendation Star, image attached below. There were likely other similar awards, all of which I would love to collect! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David dpk@iinet.net.au Another example this one to West Midlands Police. I assume this badge would also be worn on the sleeve? Of particular interest might be the retrospective date of this award!!!

NickLangley Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Where will new recipients wear the Chief Constable's Commendation badge? Somewhere on their best-dress T-shirts, I suppose.☹️ WMP passing out parade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpk Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 In today's policing world, the recipient will wear the badge any where they like- depnding on the day, the mood, the atmosphere. Are there alternate badge colours for members to choose? Perhaps multicolours to express certain woke causes etc? If the Police authorities insist on the dull white and grey badges, will offended recipients go out in protest? Or demand compensation for the mental anguish this causes? Oh, the good old days.... The trouble with the that expression is that todays new officers will look back on today and say 'They were the good old days!'. Heaven help them.
