Peace Officers Memorial Day falls within National Police Week, recognized in Congress in 1962 to recognize law enforcement officers who lost their lives in the line of duty. It is observed from Monday, May 15, through Sunday, May 21, 2023.

“Today, Michiganders come together to honor officers who lost their lives in the line of duty,” said Governor Whitmer. “Our police officers have tough jobs and risk their own safety to protect public safety. Let’s learn from their example of public service and work together to protect our communities.”

The Governor’s office said Michigan residents, businesses, schools, local governments, and other organizations are encouraged to display the flag at half-staff.

Finding the right size flag is easy! The length of the flag should be 1/4 the height of the pole. Nylon is the best all-around material, use Polyester2 for high-wind areas and budget polyester for short-term use.
