The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Long Service Medal was created in
1934, and may be awarded to any officer, non-commissioned officer or
constable who is of irreproachable character and who has completed not
less than 20 years of service with good conduct. To denote further service a
series of clasps may be awarded. To denote twenty-five years of service the clasp is a bronze bar with a single five pointed star. For thirty years of
service the clasp is silver with two stars. At thirty five years the clasp is gold
with three stars. The final clasp, approved in 2004, is for forty years of
service. It is a gold and silver bar with four stars.
