On December 2, 2013 I saw this flag onRCN news channel where they interview the current Attorney General. Theflag is on the right, a white horizontal background with a yellow/blue logo in the middle. I can't identify this flag and my best guess is that it may be the flag of the General Auditorship of the Republic, but when one looks closer to the logo, there are some differences which does not allow to conclude that the spotted flag is the same as de General Auditorship of the Republic.

On February 20, 2020, DIAN announced a restructuring process which had been going on for 18 months already, in an effort to modernize not only the entity itself (IT, approach to taxpayers, legitimacy and accountability) but also its institutional image, in which they also unveiled their new logo (which in turn would be applied to its new flag). They also had apublic tv ad which was aired to in June 2020 to show the new logo version. In turn, the new logotype was officially adopted through Resolución No. 83, August 4, 2020 in which a new "Manual Corporativo de Marca" (Brand Corporate Manual) is officially adopted (https://www.dian.gov.co/normatividad). The new trademark received official registration from the SIC through Resolución No. 12784, April 2, 2020. The previous visual identity guidelines were adopted through Resolución No. 4167, May 24, 2013 (https://www.dian.gov.co) called "Manual de Identidad Visual Institucional de la Dirección deImpuestos y Aduanas Nacionales DIAN" (Institutional Visual Identity Manual of the Directorate of National Taxes and Customs DIAN). The previous flag is derived fromthe previous logo, adopted through Resolución No. 6450, February 20, 2012 in which the corporate image manual was adopted, formally labeled as "Manual de identidad visual institucional" (Institutional visual

Its predecessor was the ONPAD (Oficina Nacional parala Prevención y Atención de Desastres) (National Office for thePrevention and Attention of Disasters) which in turn was establishedby Decree No. 46 of 1988.
The main background for this organization, were the three ratherconsecutive disasters the country suffered: Tsunami in Tumaco (1979), and earthquake in Popayán (1983) and themudslide of the Armero Volcano (1985)
Thus by Decree No. 46 of 1988 theSINPAD (Sistema Nacional para laPrevención y Atención de Desastres) (National System for thePrevention and Attention of Disasters)was created, as an integrated framework of cooperation betweenNational, Regional andLocal committies that work toghether in order to face any disastersituation.
At the beggining, the ONPAD was an organization under theMinistry ofInterior), and later itwas declared UAE (Unidad Administrativa Especial) (SpecialAdministrative Unit), like theAerocivil, thus being called theUAEPAD (Unidad Administrativa Especial para la Prevención y Atenciónde Desastres), by Decree No. 0372 of February 26, 1996. Then by DecreeNo. 2546 of December 23, 1999 it is changed into its current name,DGPAD.

INPEC stands for "Instituto Nacional Penitenciario yCarcelario". It changed its name on5th of November, 2004.However the abbreviation still stands even though the namechanged because people are more familiar with it.
It is not a police force. They are allowed to wear uniforms, useweapons and have custody of all prisons but they are not anorganizational part of the Colombian Police, they are under thethe Minister of Interior and Justice.
Here is INPEC'scoat of armsfrom the book "Himnos y Símbolos de Nuestra Colombia", page 277. Written in 2000 by Julio Cesar García, edited byCamer Editores. ISBN 958-33-1489-7.
