NSA Service Medals

The three Service Medals that NSA awards are given out as they are submitted, there is no time frame on the application. We prefer to award it out in the year that it is earned but at the end of the year they can roll over. We ask for you to allow staff 30 days to review, approve and send out the medal. It will be sent to the Sheriff’s Office to the Sheriff’s attend to be awarded by the Sheriff.
