"Per pale dexter argent a hill vert, sinister azure three pallets undy argent (representing a water fall), on a chief gules a shuttle argent. Shield divided vertically. The right side a green hill on silver, the left the the vertical wavy stripes on blue, with a red stripe across the top of the shield on which is a silver shuttle. The shuttle is of course symbolic of the textile industry."

The flag of the Woonsocket Police Department is similar to the standard flag. The PD flag is also divided into three vertical sections but evenly this time (1:1:1). The middle section is white with the city seal centered, and the lateral sections are magenta-red. In the top-right corner is a white anchor, and directly underneath it is a ribbon with the state motto "HOPE". The ribbon has a white outline, and the state motto is also in white.
