The Colombian Police is divided into Directorates. One of the
Directorates is DIJIN, or Dirección Central de Policía
Judicial, Central Directorate of Criminal Police in English.
DIJIN is a national directorate within the Police, with regional
sections in each Police Command throughout the country.

E.R., 28 December 2005
The Director of the DIJIN has its own War Flag and Standard.
Image by
El Espectador, a Colombian newspaper. The War Flag (left) is the Colombian
tricolor, with coat of arms, and on the bottom fringe it reads in yellow capital letters
DIRECCION DE INV. CRIMINAL (abbreviation for Dirección de Investigación
Criminal), and the Standard is the Directorate's flag plus two white stars on
the top left, symbolizing the Two-star General rank for the Director. It's worth
noticing that even though Generals in Colombia wear Suns instead of Stars for
their rank insignia, the Director's flag indeed shows Stars instead of Suns.
This same pattern is followed by all other Police Directorates, that is, a War
Flag (the Colombian tricolor flag with coat of arms, plus the respective
entity's name on the bottom fringe below the coat of arms), plus a Standard
(each Directorate's own flag).
