There was something on sale at eBay which seemed to be some sort of cloth including the reverse of a flag for
the South Australian Police. The flag is a blue ensign with the SA Police
badge in the fly. The badge (clearer at the SA Police website) shows the "piping shrike" of the state flag on a white disk inside a
blue circle with the words SOUTH AUSTRALIA POLICE in white. Around the
disk is a wattle wreath and a crown at the top.

From photos of the National Police Memorial ceremony, the flag of the South Australia Police at the is basically a [British] blue ensign with
the police badge fimbriated in white in the fly. The paraded flag does not seem to differ in design.

Having looked at the National Police Memorial photos website, I can now summarize the patterns of lance pennons used by mounted police in each Australian state and territory:
South Australia: dark blue above white, with a blue disc (1/2 the pennon width) at the hoist (centred at 1/6 the pennon length) bearing the SA Police emblem in full colours above the name "SOUTH AUSTRALIA
POLICE" in white sans-serif letters. Proportions 1:3; swallowtail 1/3 the pennon length.
