ABOUT
An authoritative record of the history and development of New Zealand's first official medal for long service.

Introduced in 1886, the New Zealand Police Medal was to remain in use for 91 years recognising nearly 100,000 years of service by members of the New Zealand Police.

Years of research have culminated in a detailed historic and numismatic analysis of the changes that occurred during the lifetime of this medal. The relationship with the generic awards of the New Zealand Army and The New Zealand Prison Service is fully explored, as are the little known awards to personnel of the police forces of Western Samoa, the Cook Islands, Niue and the Tokelau Islands. Includes the registers of the 3,630 recipients.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and drawings.
