The flag of the Serbian Police Union is prescribed in Article 5 of the Union statutes as follows:
The flag of Policijski Sindikat Srbije [Police Union of Serbia] flag is dark blue with the union emblem, surmonted by ПОЛИЦИЈСКИ СИНДИКАТ СРБИЈЕ, and with ПСС under the emblem, all writings in gold letters.
On photographies of the flag, the blue shade appears to be much lighter than the prescribed "dark blue".
