The heraldic ensigns of the Gendarmerie consist of the following elements: large blue shield with a crusader golden eagle, having its head turned to the right, red peak and claws, open wings, holding a silver sword in its right claw; the green olive branch, symbolizing peace and order, replacing the mace from the coat of arms of the country.

The small blue shield, placed on the eagle’s chest, having a silver rhombus, coming out of a three leaf garland and having a stylized "J" letter in the midst.

At the bottom of the external shield, on a white scarf, the motto of the ministry is written in black: Latin: LEX ET ORDO.

The letter "J" signifies, since the nineteenth century, the Romanian Gendarmerie.

The oak leaf garland symbolizes the power of sacrifice and duration of the lawful state.
