The Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA), officially the Delaware River Port
Authority of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is a bi-state agency established on
July 17, 1951, instrumentality created by a congressionally approved interstate
compact between the state governments of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It traces
its origins to December 12, 1919 when the New Jersey and Pennsylvania state
legislatures approve creation of the Delaware River Bridge Joint Commission,
The authority is principally charged to maintain and develop transportation
links between the two states with four bridges and a mass transit rail line
across the Delaware River. Though the DRPA has "port" in its name, it does not
own or operate any ports.

The flag found by Clayton Horner for sale on e-Bay in August 2014 is a ~9:14
tapering forked flag, mainly dark blue with a white stripe along the hoist (its
width ~10/27ths of the flags height). On that stripe dark blue letters "DRPA"
set vertically and on the main flag area yellow lettering "Police Bureau", set
in two lines; all text in bold capitals, set in a face reminiscent of 1990s
Apple system font Chicago:
bold, blockish, with rounded ends. The forking cutout seems to be a right angle.
Since this flag seems to be meant to be used aboard watercraft, the matter
of its reverse side is even more important than usual: readable reverse meaning
doubly heavy cloth, or illegible reverse meaning any waterborne villain could
evade persuit, alleging it looks just like the ICS
alpha flag?
