Amendments in Clause (9) pertain to the criteria for awarding decorations, medals and badges. The amendments mention that the Expo 2020 Dubai Medal can be awarded to both military and civilian personnel of Dubai Police as well as members of the public and military personnel from outside the Dubai Police force, who have made outstanding contributions to the success of Expo 2020 Dubai. The new Law also mentions that the Dubai Police Golden Jubilee Medal is awarded to military and civilian personnel of Dubai Police with more than 25 years of continuous service as of 31 May 2006, while the Loyal Service Medal is awarded to commissioned and non-commissioned officers and police personnel with over 10 years of continuous service who have demonstrated outstanding integrity and ethical standards.
