The flag is a black (or maybe dark green) horizontal flag, featuring the
Coat of Arms
in the middle, which displays the motto "Dios, Patria, Ley" (God, Fatherland,
Law) and below the
Coat of Arms
reads DIRECCIÓN GENERAL in golden capital letters, as seen
here. (Source:

DIRCOTE (Dirección Contral el Terrorismo, or Directorate
Against Terrorism in English) is a Directorate within the Peruvian Police
force in charge of fighting terrorism in that country. It emerged in 1983
as the result of government measures to stop increasing terrorist activities
(mainly from guerrilla groups, but also form
paramilitary groups as well). The first name was Dirección Regional
Contra el Terrorismo, then it changed its name to Dirección
Nacional Contra el Terrorismo (DINCOTE) and it is finally called
Dirección Contra el Terrorismo, as it is known today.

The flag is the coat of arms on a black background, plus two
Peruvian Coats of Arms (one on the right and
one on the left, in golden outline), plus the word "DIRECCION" below
the Peruvian Coats of Arms.
