25 May gave greater provision for territories to opt to award their own equivalent medals. Further minor amendments were made on 15 December. King's Police and Fire Services Medal On 6 September 1940, the name was changed to the King's Police and Fire Services Medal to better reflect the eligibility of fire service personnel. There was no longer any limit on the number to be awarded in one year. The last award of the medal for gallantry to a living recipient was in 1950, after which time it was awarded only posthumously. Queen's Police Medal In a warrant of 19 May 1954 the current version of the medal, named the Queen's Police Medal was introduced; at the same time a separate medal for the fire service was created, the Queen's Fire Service Medal. The most common form of the current award is the Queen's Police Medal for Distinguished Service. The Queen's Police Medal for Gallantry, which can only be awarded posthumously, has only been awarded 34 times since 1954 and has not been awarded since 1977, since which time the Queen's Gallantry Medal can also be awarded posthumously. Notable acts of gallantry in the police service normally now attract the George Cross, George Medal, Queen's Gallantry Medal or the Queen's Commendation for Bravery. On 11 March 2022 the Queen approved amendments to the Royal Warrant to expressly state that members of the Special Constabulary in England and Wales were eligible for the medal, with members of the Special Constabulary in Scotland already eligible. Over time, many Commonwealth countries have created their own police medals, replacing the issue of the QPM to police in those countries. For example, Australia created the Australian Police Medal in 1986. It did not supersede the QPM which continued to be awarded to Australians until 1989. On 5 October 1992, Australian Prime Minister, Paul Keating, announced that Australia would make no further recommendations for British honours. The Australian Order of Wear states that "all imperial British awards made to Australian citizens after 5 October 1992 are foreign awards and should be worn accordingly". King's South African Medal (South African version) The South Africa version was introduced in 1937, awarded on the same basis as the British medal. It had a similar design, but with differences in its inscriptions, including a bi-lingual reverse. A total of 30 medals for gallantry and 17 for distinguished service were bestowed,
