The Advisory Board on the Visual Environment considered several designs for a proposed Croton-on-Hudson Police Department flag at its March 10, 2026 meeting via Zoom. The minutes describe alternatives for the badge, lettering and background without recording a final selection.
This article is written solely from the meeting's official minutes; croton.news had no reporter present.
The minutes said the flag was intended for display during Police Week and noted a deadline of approximately two months. For the initial design, the discussion included improving the image quality so the eagle would look clearer.
Another option placed the badge in the center, with wording divided between the top and bottom of the flag. A further option made the flag itself the badge, using a black background, yellow border and yellow lettering.
A variation used smaller lettering placed only at the bottom. Members also discussed a white background to help the badge stand out; the minutes clarified that the blue background had been selected to match the New York State flag.
