The Order of Zayed is named after the first president of the U.A.E., Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and the Zayed Order for Distinguished Security is bestowed upon those working for the Police and Security force who prove their distinctiveness and superior skills in dealing with and arresting criminals who represent a threat to life and property. The 1st Class is given to Officers. The award takes the shape of a seven-pointed star, with the tip of each ray crowned by a pearl, with a scallop shell in between each arm of the star. The pearls and scallop shells are symbolic of the U.A.E.'s historic pearl and maritime trade. The suspension, in the form of a stylised helmet, bears an Arabic inscription meaning 'In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful'.

The Order of Gallantry is awarded to Officers, non-commissioned Officers, and individuals working for the Police and Security forces who demonstrate great courage. The obverse of the seven-pointed star award displays a traditional medieval Arab cavalry with arms.
