A Member of Congress may present a Federal Law Enforcement Badge to a recipient who lives in their district; if both a Senator and Representative want to, they present it jointly. If no Member of Congress presents it, the Attorney General or a designee does instead. The presenting Member's office arranges the ceremony, with the Federal Board helping and handling any presentation not done by Members of Congress.

(a) Presentation by Member of Congress. A Member of Congress may present the badge to a recipient who lives in their congressional district. If both a Senator and Representative for that area want to present it, they must do so jointly. (b) Presentation by Attorney General. If no Member of Congress chooses to present the badge, the Attorney General — or someone the Attorney General designates — presents it instead. (c) Presentation arrangements. The office of the presenting Member of Congress may arrange the presentation, and if a Senator and Representative present it jointly, they arrange it together. The Federal Board must help with these arrangements when the congressional office presenting the badge asks, and must handle arrangements for any presentation that no Member of Congress takes on.
