Western Australia Police Medal of diligent and ethical service. The Western Australia Police Commissioner's Medal for Excellence is a circular cupro-nickel medal, 38 mm in diameter, surmounted with St Edward's Crown. The obverse displays the Western Australia Coat of Arms, surrounded by the words 'WESTERN AUSTRALIA POLICE - DILIGENT AND ETHICAL SERVICE'. The medal is suspended by a ribbon coloured in vertical blue and white stripes in an inverse colour pattern to the Police Long Service and Good Conduct Medal that had previously been issued to Australian Police. This ribbon is shared with the South Australia Police Medal, Tasmania Police Medal, and Victoria Police
George Cross ribbon width was amended to one and a half inches. Bars can be awarded for further acts of bravery meriting the GC, although none have yet been awarded. In common with the Victoria Cross, in undress uniform or on occasions when the medal ribbon alone is worn, a miniature replica of the cross is affixed to the centre of the ribbon, a distinction peculiar to these two premier awards for bravery. In the event of a second award, a second replica would be worn on the ribbon. Recipients are entitled to the postnominal letters GC. All original individual GC awards
