The Colonial Special Constabulary Medal was established on 1 April 1957 as a volunteer and part-time long service medal of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. On 10 April 2012 the medal became known as the Overseas Territories Special Constabulary Medal, and underwent a minor change in design.[2] This reflected the change in the way Britain's remaining colonies were described, they being classed as 'Overseas Territories' from 2002.[3]
