Medal Irreproachable Service - Ministry of Interior 1st Degree

The meda, a minstry of Interior decoration, l is of a light shiny and tinny alloy and resembles more a badge.  The center emblem is attached to a suspension in Moldovan tricolors (like Romanian) bearing a roman one numeral and the colouring is cold enamel.  The text in wrapped around the Moldovan coat of arms (eagle with bull) states "For irreproachable service". It is reputedly made in Romania and I am trying to find out how many people received this medal and for what.
