In a visit to an Air Show held in Colombia in mid-June 2004, I
came across this particular
aircraft. It seems to be a T-41, operated by the Policía
Nacional Colombiana (Colombian National Police). Its s/n is also
very particular (PNC 0260-I, the "I" standing for
"Instrcucción", or Instruction in English, meaning it
was for training).

The roundel is a dark green ring containing a large dark-green
star over a stylized bird in the colors of the Colombian flag.

Flag of the "Escuela de Cadetes de Policía General
Santander" (General Santander Police Cadet School).
Description of the flag: two equal horizontal stripes, top green
and bottom yellow, with Coat of Arms on the middle. Official
website: Dirección
Escuela Nacional de Policía General Santander.

There seems to be a gold inscription in the burgundy ring
around the arms, but it's far too small to be legible. The name
of the school, perhaps, or its motto?
Eugene Ipavec, 22 September 2005
The inscription on the golden fringe is the name of the
School, so it would be (in golden capital letters) "ESCUELA
DE POLICA GENERAL SANTANDER".

The Colombian Police is divided into Directorates. One of the
Directorates is DIJIN, or Dirección Central de Policía
Judicial, Central Directorate of Criminal Police in English.
DIJIN is a national directorate within the Police, with regional
sections in each Police Command throughout the country.
