East Providence, Rhode Island - Municipal Flags on Waymarking.com

The flag of the City of East Providence, Rhode Island, flies in front of the police station on Waterman Avenue. It is displayed on its own pole alongside the flags of United States and the State of Rhode Island at the southwest corner of the building.

"The flag of the City of East Providence, Rhode Island, is white with city seal on it surrounded by three blue stars - on the left, on the right and over it, and a scroll below the seal with motto 'PRO BONO PUBLICO'. Pro bono publico is Latin, 'for the public good.'" (SOURCE: CRW Flags)

Samuel Gifford Howard goes into more detail about the elements and their history in this article. Namely, including the birds on the seal -- in 1636 Roger Williams founded “Seacunke” (Algonquin for “black goose” and today spelled “Seekonk”) -- and how East Providence emerged from part of a larger settlement known as Rehoboth.
