History

For every additional 5 years of service, a silver star shaped clasp is added to the recipients ribbon (a single star for 30 years of service, two stars for 35 years of service, and three stars for 40 years of service). There is a maximum of three stars an individual may receive.

The design of this medal is identical to the Civil Defence Service Medal with Laurel Branch (See NOR121 in Medals & Decorations), but is differentiated by associated clasps on the ribbons. The Civil Defence Service Medal consists of either no clasp on the ribbon, or star clasps for associated years of service, whereas, the Civil Defence Service Medal with Laurel Branch has a laurel branch shaped clasp on the ribbon.
