DOJ Federal Bureau of Prisons Distinguished Service Medal

Breast Medal


The DOJ Federal Bureau of Prisons Distinguished Service Medal is awarded to an individual (civil service or Public Health Service) who has realized the highest level of achievement. To be a recipient of the BOP DSM, an individual must have a genuine sense of public service and have made outstanding contributions to the mission of the Bureau. The contributions may range from an outstanding accomplishment in a significant aspect of the Bureau, to an initiative resulting in a major national impact on the health care in the Bureau, to a one-time heroic act resulting in a great saving of life, health, or property. The BOP DSM is the highest non-cash award given to a Bureau employee for contributions in health care.
