Governor Kim Reynolds has ordered all flags in Iowa to be flown at half-staff on Thursday, May 15, in recognition of National Peace Officers Memorial Day.
In a statement, Governor Reynolds paid tribute to both fallen officers and the families they leave behind.
Flags will be lowered at all public buildings, including the State Capitol, and Reynolds encourages all Iowans to do the same as a sign of respect.
The Iowa Peace Officer Memorial site has flown its flags at half-staff since Sunday and will continue to do so through Saturday, May 17, in observance of National Police Week.
