into three sectors with the national colors. The upper half is yellow, inscribed
with "POLICIA NACIONAL" in black bold letters, the lower part is blue on the
left and red on the right, inscribed with "ESCUELA DE GUÍAS Y ADIESTRAMIENTO
CANINO" in black bold letters. The center of the shield, on a yellow background,
features the National Police's star, superimposed with a saber and a rifle

Is this "bearing a golden staff", or "its flagstaff being gold-coloured"?
By accident we had two such stripes, but they were to far apart to form a single
diagonal. As a stop-gap measure I filled in the gaps with red and white.
But I wonder whether we need some sort of shading to indicate the red diagonal
on the red stripe. I now that part of the design will not be very strong,
regardless, but if one could see the red diagonal continuing, then at least the
design would make sense.
Hm, interesting, those colours. Hope apparently is an aspiration to a better
future, while life is filled with tenacity, struggle, and liberty.

A different direction
I myself think it doesn't look so much like a bi-colour green over red, over
all a bi-colour narrow rising diagonal, red over white - as like a bi-colour
narrow rising diagonal, white over red.
