Civic decorations are awarded to employees who have distinguished themselves within administrative and public services. These recognitions acknowledge long-term commitment and loyalty in the context of civil service. The Civic Cross is awarded to employees who have completed at least 35 years of uninterrupted service. This honor symbolizes a lifelong dedication and valuable contribution to the public sector. Additionally, the Civic Medal is granted after 25 years of faithful service. This medal highlights the importance of sustained involvement and dedication within administrative roles. Both distinctions emphasize the respect and appreciation for those who have devoted many years to the effective functioning and stability of government services and other administrative institutions.
In addition to these distinctions for long and faithful service, there are also the Civic Decorations for Acts of Courage and Devotion. These are awarded to individuals who have distinguished themselves through an exceptional act of bravery or by saving human lives. They recognize citizens who, often at risk to their own lives, have helped or protected others in emergency situations.
