The Award
  
The Award itself was designed by architectural glass artist Martin Donlin. The design is based upon dissected images layered as a collage. Three dictionary quotations of  the words AWARD, BRAVERY and COURAGE are juxtaposed with images from the Police Federation’s coat of arms. The central image, a lion’s head, is representative of courage and bravery, mixed with the scales of justice and the crown of our Monarch
 
Jill Dando Award
 
The Jill Dando Award is a special presentation given to a member of the public who has made a major contribution to fighting crime. It was introduced in 1999 to remember Jill, who was a significant supporter of policing and the Police Bravery Awards. The award is a bronze flower, modelled on the rose that bears her name.
