I visited Taipei at the end of March 2010 and saw the Taiwanese Police Flag which
is a dark red field charged with a yellow dove and a wreath and national emblem
above.

According to response from Taiwanese Police Agency, the current flag of
police was adopted on July 23 1974.

In Taiwan, Civil Defense is an auxiliary of the National Police Agency.

The flag of Civil Defense is sky blue, with a pair of wings in blue-white-red tricolor, at its center a yellow plum blossom defaced by a blue disc bearing a white sun. The unit name is written in black on a white vertical strip at the hoist.
The third generation flag of Civil Defense is similar to the second
generation flag, except the Nationalist Party emblem has been replaced with the
national emblem (i.e. the white sun has become smaller relative to the blue
disc). In practice, the second generation flag has remained by far the more
common version even to this day.

The second generation flag of Civil Defense has curved wings, yellow fringes,
and the white vertical strip either running all the way along the hoist (typical
in earlier examples) or shortened and placed near the hoist. The proportions of
the flag and the dimensions of the details can vary considerably.

The first generation flag of Civil Defense, as used during the 1952 National
Day parade, had straight wings, the plum blossom outlined (probably in black),
and the white vertical strip running all the way along the hoist. A variant of
the flag had the blue disc and white sun replaced with writing (possibly the
county name in red).
