This flag is not just a symbol, but a living document of our loyalty, dedication and sacrifice. It is an immortal heritage of our valorous stories.

The red and blue flag, a symbol of strength and loyalty, has given a proud identity to Uttar Pradesh Police.
After countless stories of public service, devotion to duty, valor and self-sacrifice of our brave colleagues loyal to the police department, the path of this glorious achievement of obtaining the police flag could be paved. While hoisting the police flag and showing respect towards it, we feel a sense of self-respect and a new energy of devotion to duty is transmitted in all of us, which inspires us to perform our duties with new zeal and enthusiasm.
The history of Uttar Pradesh Police Force has been golden and glorious. Uttar Pradesh Police Force is the largest police organization in the world under a single command. On this occasion, while extending my heartfelt best wishes to all of you once again, I expect that all of you will maintain the respect of the dignified achievement of this glorious past. Through our dedication and professional efficiency, we will continue to set such exemplary examples so that new dimensions continue to be established in the golden history of Uttar Pradesh Police.
