| 释义 |
The United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation instituted an Honorary Medals Program in 1989 as a way of recognizing "exceptional acts" by FBI employees and other law enforcement personnel working with the FBI.[1] These medals were created to supplement the then-existing reward system within the Bureau.[2] There are four medals in the program intended for personnel: the FBI Star, the FBI Medal for Meritorious Achievement, the FBI Shield of Bravery, and the FBI Medal of Valor. One additional medal, the FBI Memorial Star, is for a surviving relative when a death has occurred in the line of duty.[1] These medals are considered to be among the highest honors granted by the FBI, and fewer than 400 had been awarded as of March 2009.[1] The FBI Star{{Clear}}The FBI Medal for Meritorious Achievement{{Clear}}The FBI Shield of Bravery{{Clear}}The FBI Medal of Valor"The FBI Medal of Valor is presented in recognition of an exceptional act of heroism or voluntary risk of personal safety and life, and this act must have occurred in the direct line of duty or within the scope of FBI employment and in the face of criminal adversaries."[1] Special Agent Robert Merta was grazed by a bullet when he tackled a fugitive prison escapee who had drawn his gun on Merta and three other agents when they tried to arrest him. Merta received the Medal of Valor for risking his life to protect his fellow agents.[3] {{Clear}}The FBI Memorial Star{{Clear}}References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite web|url=https://www.fbi.gov/pressrel/pressrel09/medals032709.htm|title=FBI press release 3/27/2009|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20161226050336/https://www2.fbi.gov/pressrel/pressrel09/medals032709.htm|archivedate=2016-12-26|df=}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=77xU3SgInJgC&pg=PA83 |title=The FBI Career Guide|author=Joseph W.
