I have made a recreation of the flag ot the Guyana Police
Force. The flag with the line of colored circles is the HQ flag.
The colored circles represent the 7 divisions as follows:
- A Division - Orange
- B Division - Blue (same shade as on the bottom diagonal of the
flag)
- C Division - Brown
- D Division - Green
- E Division - Silver/Light Grey
- F Division - Yellow
- G Division - White.
The divisional flags are the same as the HQ flag with the
exception that where the line of circles is displayed on the HQ
flag, the division color is displayed on the flag of the
respective division. The colors representing the divisions are
accurate because by looking at the position of the D Division
(where I lived) I could tell the other divisional colors.

Vickram Bhola has informed me that all division flags have the
coloured line in the exact same location. Only the HQ flag has it
in a different position. Almost all HQ flags have the line in
that same position, except for one seen on TV, waving outside the
Police HQ, which had the line of circles in a position closer to
the position of the line of the divisions but definitely not in
that exact position.
Occasional visits to E Division gave the second colour, and
hence, allowed the theory that the order of the circles was the
order of the divisions by alphabet. This was later confirmed by a
police officer.

The jaguar is taken from the Coat-of-Arm of Guyana and is the national
animal.On the Coat-of-Arms the jaguars support the shield. [On a side note the
logo of the Guyana Defense Force contains the Canje Phesant (Hoatzin) which is
the national bird.]
The feathered crown is known as the Cacique Crown and since 1970, has been the
personal symbol/emblem of the President of the Republic of Guyana. It is (within
Guyana) a symbol of authority. Therefore in this case the feathered crowns on
the police badge/logo would most likely allude to the authority of the Police
Force as well as the the authority of the President of Guyana as the
Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Republic (which the Police Force
is a part of along with the Guyana Defense Force, Guyana Fire Service, and
Guyana Prison Service).

I had the fortune of noticing the flags of the Guyana Police Force while on
my recent visit back to Guyana. I am attaching the corrected versions of the
flags.

To complement my previous contributions to the Guyana pages please find the
updated police flags reflecting the accurate emblem of the Police force.

This is a recreation of the Flag of the Guyana Prison Service
based on my memory. The inscription is written in two ways: at
the bottom of the logo in a curve and across the bottom of the
flag.
