The flag depicts, over a blue field, the badge of the ministry. It is outlined in gold and has outer text reading MINISTERIO DE SEGURIDAD PUBLICA, its name; and COSTA RICA at the bottom, all within its outer ring.
The inner ring is outlined with rope, having in its center a green map of Costa Rica. Surrounding this are the badges of its 6 organisms: the Coast Guard, Public Force, Aerial Vigilance Police, Judicial Investigative Police, National Academy for Police, and Border Police.
