![[NSW Police flag]](../images/a/au_nswp.gif)
by Miles Li, 14 October 2004
The New South Wales Police Service has the Police Service badge (as seen at the Police Service website) on a light blue over white bicolour. It is used swallowtailed on bikes.

A detailed description can be found at http://www.policensw.com/info/history/h8.html.
Note that the badge originally read 'New South Wales Police Force', later changed to 'New South Wales Police Service', and now simply 'New South Wales Police'. Note also that the eagle clutches a red ribbon with the word 'Nemesis' written on it.
Most Police Stations in NSW fly only the State Flag; when there are two or more flagpoles available, the National Flag and/or Police Flag might also be flown. It is not customary to fly the Police Flag on police boats. When on ceremonial duty, police motorcycles fly a swallow-tailed version of the Police Flag, and horse-mounted police fly plain dark blue-above-white swallow-tailed lance pennons.
