Flags to be flown at half-staff Thursday

Governor Mike Pence is directing flags at state facilities statewide be flown at half-staff Thursday in honor of Peace Officers Memorial Day, which honors federal, state and local officers killed or disabled in the line of duty.

President Obama signed a proclamation ordering flags nationwide to be flown at half-staff on Thursday, May 15.

Flags should be flown at half-staff from sunrise until sunset.

Governor Pence also asks businesses and residents to lower their flags to half-staff to pay tribute to the brave men and women in law enforcement across Indiana and our nation.
