The flag is dark blue with the police logo, the diamond in the logo stands 
for a book of law and the grenade with a flame stands for vigilance. The motto 
of the Natinoal Police is added to the flag and placed in lower part. This 
version of flag has been used since 2023, when all police organizations merged 
into National Police.

I've passed several times the police-office on the Raampoort in Amsterdam,
which has an impressive flagpole, wound in some blue cloth, which seems
to be disentangled every 10 years, preventing our citizens from admiring it
(the blue cloth and what's on it); however on the main office at the Elandsgracht
the flag is on top: blue with white letters POLITIE, and some brown emblem
(the same as Shipmate has).

Two pictures of the flag of the Netherlands National Police (Nationale
Politie) that I took in Amsterdam. The flag is different from the
two pictured in FOTW. Motto on flag is: "waakzaam en dienstbaar".
This flag
appears to be what I saw.
Images of previously used variants:
here and 
here.
    
I also ran across an image of the Netherlands Ministerie van Justitie flag.
