Canadian Police Long Service Ribbon Bar

The Canadian Police Long Service Ribbon Bar is a uniform accessory awarded to members of Canadian police services in recognition of extended and exemplary service. This ribbon bar is designed to be worn on the uniform as part of the Canadian honours system and represents the Canadian Police Exemplary Service Medal. The ribbon features a central dark blue stripe flanked by gold edges, reflecting the official colours associated with police service. Eligibility for the corresponding medal generally requires a minimum of 20 years of service, with criteria including good conduct and performance. The ribbon bar itself is typically mounted on a metal backing and secured with a pin or mounting clasp suitable for dress wear. It provides a convenient way for recipients to acknowledge their decoration without wearing the full medal. This item is of interest to collectors of Canadian police memorabilia as well as those studying law enforcement history and service recognition in Canada.
