In order to be considered for this honor, an SRO must exhibit unusual bravery in the performance of duty while facing the threat of death or serious injury. It is this committee’s intent of this definition to base the award upon extraordinary actions that would expose the SRO to self-peril and beyond the call of duty.

Criteria:

a. An act of heroism which extends far beyond the normal call of duty where failure to take such action would not justify censure.
b. The act must include the actual risk of life and the nominee having had sufficient time to evaluate the risk.
