The Ministry of Interior Medal of Duty is awarded to those who suffer injury whilst on or because of police duty with the injury resulting in physical or psychological damage. The central enamel inscription reads 'Duty Medal' and is surrounded by seven roundels which contain an open book, pen and feather, soldier, the all-seeing eye, khanjar dagger, scales, and the crescent and star.

The Medal for Honour and Security is bestowed upon Police and Security force members who have performed duty with the utmost honesty and sincerity. The Medal features an outer design of seven petals, representative of the seven Emirates. The central design displays the Murabba Fort at Al Ain in Abu Dhabi, which was the old headquarters and prison of the police force.

The Rescue Medal is given to members of the Police and Security force who have distinguished themselves in firefighting, ambulance, and rescue services as well as volunteers and community members who have at grave personal risk saved the lives or property of others. The star-shaped award has seven stylised rays with a central design depicting a helicopter, police carrying a stretcher, and a boat to represent the Ministry's air services, land services, and maritime services. An enamel depiction of the U.A.E. flag provides the backdrop to the gilt silhouettes and the suspension bar is made up of a half-wreath of laurel leaves.

The Security Awareness Medal is awarded to members of the Police and Security force as well as community members who contribute to the discovery or prevention of a serious crime or security lapse. The award's design directly correlates with its purpose, featuring a gilt falcon against a blue enamel background. The falcon is known for its keen scouting senses and hunting ability, in addition to representing the Bedouin.

The Loyalty Medal may be earned by those retiring from service in the Police and Security force after a minimum period of twenty years distinguished by dedication and sincerity, free of any disciplinary offense, to acknowledge success in the completion of their service. The central medallion features the calligraphic inscription 'Loyalty Medal' on a background of blue enamel, enclosed by a wreath of laurel leaves symbolising victory. The suspension takes the form of the Murabba Fort at Al Ain, the old police headquarters, above the flags of state.
