In honor of Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police Week, Iowa Gov., Kim Reynolds, has ordered all flags to be flown at half-staff. This order is issued in conjunction with President Trump’s proclamation to lower all United States flags to half-staff until sunset on Friday, May 15. “This week we honor the strength of character and sense of duty that drives our peace officers through every shift,” Reynolds says. “Iowa’s peace officers are unflinching protectors who willingly place their lives on the line to keep our communities safe. I am proud to recognize the brave hearts behind the badge and the legacy left behind by each fallen hero.” 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 do the same.
