Tanda kehormatan kepolisian Amerika Serikat

Tanda kehormatan kepolisian Amerika Serikat adalah serangkaian penghargaan atas jasa dan pelayanan yang diberikan kepada personel kepolisian Amerika Serikat. Sistem kepolisian di Amerika Serikat terdesentralisasi, sehingga departemen kepolisian masing-masing daerah berdiri secara terpisah dan independen yang menjadikan tanda kehormatan di masing-masing daerah berbeda.

 Sejarah 
Medali dan atribut penghargaan untuk aparat kepolisian pertama kali muncul pada akhir abad ke-19 dan digunakan oleh beberapa departemen kepolisian terbesar pada saat itu, seperti Departemen Kepolisian New York (NYPD) dan Departemen Kepolisian Chicago (CPD). Penghargaan penegakan hukum pada masa lampau sering kali berbentuk pin yang diberikan atas keberhasilan kasus per kasus. Standardisasi penghargaan untuk aparat kepolisian mulai muncul setelah pemerintah mulai mengeluarkan peraturan seragam yang lebih terkodifikasi dan terstruktur untuk departemen kepolisian.Wadman,R., To Protect and to Serve: A History of Police in America, Pearson Publishing (2003)

Awalnya, penghargaan penegakan hukum jarang diberikan kepada personel kepolisian. Penghargaan-penghargaan itu hanya untuk tindakan kepahlawanan atau keberanian besar untuk negara, seperti halnya medali seperti "Medal of Valor" dan "Medal of Honor" yang sudah ada sejak lama. Kemudian pada abad ke-20, departemen kepolisian mulai mengeluarkan pita medali untuk tugas-tugas rutin seperti masa kerja, penyelesaian pelatihan, atau sekadar apresiasi keanggotaan di kepolisian. Penghargaan penegakan hukum, secara historis dominan diberikan pada kepolisian kota besar, kemudian menjelang akhir abad ke-20 penghargaan ini ditetapkan hingga kantor kepolisian lokal dan Sherrif.

 Penggunaan

Pada umumnya, tanda kehormatan kepolisian kota dan desa hanya dapat dikenakan atau ditampilkan pada seragam saat seorang petugas sedang berdinas dengan seragam resmi. Sebagian besar penghargaan tersebut diberikan dan dianugerahkankan oleh pejabat kota atau departemen kepolisian itu sendiri.

Lembaga kepolisian federal, seperti FBI, DEA, dan ATF mengeluarkan medali di bawah kepengawasan pemerintah AS dan dianggap sebagai penghargaan sipil khusus, bukan penghargaan kepolisian pada umumnya. Tidak seluruh lembaga kepolisian federal memperbolehkan anggotanya untuk menampilkan tanda penghargaan meskipun saat menggunakan seragam resmi.

Penghargaan penegakan hukum sering kali dirancang secara independen oleh pemerintah kota, di mana penghargaan itu dibuat dengan penampilan unik agar medali tersebut berbeda dari penghargaan militer AS (yang sering kali disahkan untuk dikenakan pada seragam polisi oleh veteran militer).Ingersoll, G., "Florida's Sanford Police Department Cancels Use Of Military Ribbons After Outrage", Business Insider (Retrieved Dec 2, 19)
