In accordance with Executive Order 10-12, Governor Jeff Colyer has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff from sun-up to sun-down on Tuesday, May 15 in honor of National Peace Officers Memorial Day.
"Law enforcement officers across Kansas choose a career of service to others and deserve our recognition for their tremendous courage," said Governor Colyer. "I encourage all Kansans to celebrate this National Peace Officers Memorial Day and honor the men and women who daily risk their lives to protect and serve us."
National Peace Officers Memorial Day was established in 1961 to recognize local, state and federal law enforcement and peace officials.
