Gov. Reynolds Orders Flags To Half-Staff Friday For Peace Officer Memorial Day

Gov. Kim Reynolds has issued an order to lower all flags in the state to half-staff through sunset tonight (Friday) in honor of Peace Officer Memorial Day in Iowa. Reynolds says, “Across Iowa’s 99 counties, our law enforcement officers are unflinching protectors who approach the unknown with every traffic stop, night patrol, or undercover operation. Their courageous service reminds us that behind every badge is a brave and generous heart. Today serves as another reminder of the heroic sacrifice of the men and women in blue as well as the family members who selflessly share their heroes with our grateful state.” Flags will be at half-staff on the State Capitol Building, on displays in the Capitol Complex and on all public buildings, grounds and facilities throughout the state. Individuals, businesses, schools, municipalities, counties and other government subdivisions are encouraged to fly flags at half-staff for the same length of time.
