dbo:abstract
  • The Ceylon Police Medal was awarded to police officers of the Ceylon Police Force, with two versions: for gallantry and for meritorious service. The number of medals for meritorious service was limited to a maximum of ten a year. The medals were established in August 1950 to replace the Colonial Police Medal. They were themselves replaced by the Sri Lanka Police Weeratha Padakkama for gallantry and Sri Lanka Police Vishishta Seva Padakkama for meritorious service when Ceylon became a republic in 1972. Circular and made of silver, the medals have the sovereign's effigy of the obverse, (George VI until 1953, then Elizabeth II). The reverse bears the image of an elephant with, above, the wording "Ceylon Police Service" and, below, either "For Gallantry" or "For Merit", as appropriate. The ribbon is suspended from a straight bar suspension, with awards for gallantry distinguished by two narrow red stripes in the ribbon design. (en)

  • De Ceylon Police Medal was een Britse koloniale onderscheiding. De medaille werd toegekend voor dapperheid of verdienste in het Ceylonese politiekorps. In 1948 werd Ceylon onafhankelijk. De medaille werd ook geslagen voor de onafhankelijk geworden Dominion Ceylon, van 1948 tot 1972 een dominion binnen het Gemenebest. De medaille werd ingesteld op 23 februari 1932 in een Koninklijk Besluit ("Royal Warrant") van koning George V, keizer van India. In december 1944 werd het besluit genomen om de Ceylon Police Medal in het vervolg in twee uitvoeringen uit te reiken: voor moed ("gallantry") of voor verdiensten ("distinguished service"). Deze praktijk sloot aan bij de wijze waarop in de rest van het Britse Rijk politiemedailles werden verleend. Een Royal Warrant van 19 juni 1950 regelde de toekenning van de Ceylon Police Medal in de pas gestichte Dominion Ceylon. Na het uitroepen van de Republiek Ceylon in 1972 werd de Ceylonese ingesteld.
