Typically, a police officer cannot officially give their Medal of Valor to a civilian, as these awards are designated for law enforcement personnel who have demonstrated exceptional courage in the line of duty. However, individual officers can express gratitude or recognition for civilian bravery through other means, such as letters of commendation or community awards. The policies regarding medals and awards can vary by department, so it's best to consult the specific police department's regulations for more details.
There is not a specific medal for a police officer wounded in action. The governor of a state or mayor of a city may choose to bestow a Medal of Honor or Medal of Valor on a police officer wounded in the line of duty, but there is not a specific one given solely to these brave officers.

The Dicken Medal is a British award that recognizes animals, predominantly dogs, for their bravery and devotion in times of conflict. It was established in 1943 and is presented to animals that serve or have served in the military or performed outstanding acts of bravery in civilian life. The medal is named after Maria Dickin, the founder of the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA), an organization that provides veterinary care to animals in need.
