Department pieces that use Police Week have to be finished in April. An officer’s retirement is a different date and should not be dragged onto that ceremony.

Design around the details that matter
Different pieces for different purposes
Police Service & Bravery Plaque
Use the exact honor approved by the department or presenting organization. If the gift is a general thank-you, say that plainly instead of describing it as an official bravery award or commendation.
Police Challenge Coin Display Plaque
Send the number, diameter and thickness of the coins before choosing holders. Decide whether the display should show one face or allow removal, especially when both sides carry meaningful artwork.
Full-Color Law Enforcement Recognition Award
Choose an image appropriate for public display and confirm permission for any people or insignia shown. Keep the dedication clear of important image details so the piece works as both a photograph and an award.
Which buying guide should you read next?
All buying guidesBadge-shaped presentation plaques and artwork briefs
For worldwide Shield Recognition orders, turn a badge-shaped concept into an approved artwork brief without implying that every decorative shield reproduces an official badge.
Plan law enforcement service gifts across departments
Build the order around the approved occasion, recipient details and display location. A retirement plaque, a commendation and a shared department record should not inherit the same wording automatically. Keep authorized artwork and exact service dates attached to each proof.
One recipient with several law enforcement awards
For worldwide Shield Recognition orders, count the physical pieces for each law enforcement recipient without merging distinct awards or duplicating one combined gift.
Open versus covered police challenge-coin displays
For worldwide Shield Recognition orders, choose an open challenge-coin display when regular access and rearrangement are priorities, and a covered display when the owner wants a defined enclosure. Compare usable internal space, viewing access and the actual closure. A cover does not by itself establish preservation performance, security or included coins.
