Historical Background

The Police Long Service Award was introduced in 1938 in the German Reich and awarded in several classes. The 3rd Class honored police officers for 8 years of loyal service. The blue ribbon is the typical distinguishing feature of this award class and differentiates it from higher classes with ribbons of different colors. Police service awards from the introductory year 1938 are particularly rare due to their short period of issue.
