Line 1: The '''Colonial Police Medal''' ('''CPM''') is a medal awarded for gallantry or distinguished service to [[police]] officers in [[British Overseas Territories]] and formerly in [[Crown Colonies]] and [[British Dependent Territories]]. Officers from these areas can also be awarded the [[Queen's Police Medal]], which is considered to be a higher award. The CPM was first awarded in 1938. The most common form of the current award is the '''Colonial Police Medal for Meritorious Service'''. The equivalent medal for gallantry, the '''Colonial Police Medal for Gallantry''', which could be awarded posthumously, has not been awarded since ~~1975, when HM The Queen awarded the last two whilst in Hong Kong~~1974 and has been effectively replaced by the [[Queen's Gallantry Medal]], which has been awarded posthumously since 1977. Queen Elizabeth II made the last presentations to two recipients in 1975 while she was in Hong Kong. [[Category:Civil awards and decorations of the United Kingdom]]
