NYPD Flag

NYPD Department Flag

This is the flag of the New York City Police Department, printed on polyester at the standard 3x5 foot size. It hangs from a house pole, a wall or a garage, and it works for parades and memorial events. Officers, retirees, police families and anyone who backs the department can fly it at home or at work.

Features

• 3x5 Foot Size — At 3 by 5 feet (about 91 x 152 cm), it is the common size for residential flagpoles and wall display.
• Polyester Fabric — The flag is made of polyester, a synthetic fabric suited to both outdoor flying and indoor display.
• Two Metal Grommets — Metal rings set into the white header along the hoist side clip onto a pole halyard or hang from wall hooks.
• Five Green And White Bars — The five horizontal bars stand for the five boroughs of New York City.
• Twenty-Four Stars — The stars on the blue field represent the cities, towns and villages brought into New York City in 1898.
• Blue Canton — The canton, the block in the upper corner next to the pole, is blue to match the NYPD uniform.
• Traditional Police Green — Green appears in the bars because it is a long-standing, sentimental police color.
• Indoor And Outdoor Use — It can fly from an outdoor pole or be displayed indoors and carried at parades.

Design And Hanging

The layout follows the United States flag, with a starred canton and horizontal bars, but in the department's blue, green and white. The colors are printed in bright inks. The two grommets sit at the top and bottom of the hoist edge, so the flag fits standard pole clips and can be hung flat on a wall with two nails or hooks.
