Award criteria The medal is conferred on Albanian and foreign citizens in recognition of contributions to combating crime, protecting life, maintaining public order and security, safeguarding and administering property and managing emergency situations.
It may also be awarded for courage and bravery in the performance of duties and responsibilities prescribed by legislation governing public order and security.
Grades The Medal for Service in Public Order consists of three grades, arranged in descending order of precedence:

Insignia The medal is modelled on decorations for uniformed personnel used in several European countries. Its central motif is a double-headed eagle, based on the design commonly used in the insignia of the Albanian State Police. The eagle is accompanied by a sword, symbolising the force of law and a sceptre of justice, representing its enforcement. Below the design is the inscription Për Shërbim në Rendin Publik ("For Service in Public Order").
The medal retains the same basic design across its three grades, which are distinguished by gold, silver and bronze finishes.
