The Colonial Special Constabulary Medal was established on 1 April 1957 as a volunteer and part-time long service medal of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. On 10 April 2012 the medal became known as the Overseas Territories Special Constabulary Medal, and underwent a minor change in design.[2] This reflected the change in the way Britain's remaining colonies were described, they being classed as 'Overseas Territories' from 2002.[3]
The medal is presented to members of the Special Constabulary of a British colony or Overseas Territory for long and meritorious service. It is awarded for part-time service of either nine years if unpaid, or fifteen years paid. A clasp is awarded for each further ten years of service.[4]
The medal is circular, silver and 36 mm (1.4 in) in diameter. It has the following design:[4]
