The Police Decoration for Gallantry was a Rhodesia n gallantry award. A handful were awarded for conspicuous gallantry to members of the British South Africa Police , Police Support Unit and Police Reserve. Institution The award was instituted in 1970 by Presidential Warrant, the first award being made in June 1975. The last award was made in September 1978.

Medal The medal was a gold plated sterling silver cross, enamelled in Oxford blue, bearing a roundel in the centre struck with the gold wounded lion device of the BSAP on a white field. The cross was suspended from an Oxford blue ribbon with two narrow stripes of scarlet, edged with silver, very similar to that of the British Queen s Police Medal , which it replaced.
