National Police Memorial Day is May 15th.
FLAGS TO BE FLOWN AT HALF-STAFF ON MAY 15,
"PEACE OFFICERS MEMORIAL DAY"
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund has issued a
reminder to all police and other governmental agencies, as well as to businesses and
private citizens across the country that all flags of the United States are to be flown at
half-staff on May 15, "Peace Officers Memorial Day."
In 1994, the U.S. Congress and President Clinton approved the law, P.L. 103-322, requiring
the American flag to be lowered to half-staff on May 15 as a special tribute to the more
than 15,000 law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. Last year,
150 law enforcement officers were killed in the line of duty. When we lower our flags on
Peace Officers Memorial Day we will be recognizing that those brave men and women died
upholding our laws and preserving public safety." Their names will be among
those added to the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial in Wshington, DC.
