The Civil Police Merit Medal was created by decree 24,205, on April 15, 2002. The idea is to recognize the civil servant for his relevant services provided in favor of the security of the State and society of Pernambuco.

In addition, the award includes personalities and public or private institutions. The concession is made by Act of the Executive Branch, with the Civil Police being responsible for issuing the respective diploma.

The ceremony ended the celebrations celebrating PCPE’s anniversary, which began on the 11th with a tribute to agent Luiz Henrique Malta dos Santos, who was killed in 2023 while carrying out his duties.
