PHOENIX — Governor Doug Ducey ordered flags at half-staff in honor of Arizona Peace Officers Memorial Day.
Flags are to be lowered from sunrise to sunset on Monday.
“Arizona’s peace officers fight to protect our communities every day — some have done so and given the ultimate sacrifice,” Ducey said in a press release.
“Arizona is forever grateful for those who gave their lives in the line of duty. There’s a reason it’s called a badge of honor.”
He went on to praise peace officers for their courage, bravery and integrity when keeping the community safe.
“In their honor, we’re dedicated to keeping Arizona a place where we honor and value all of law enforcement,” Ducey said.
This year marks the 48th Annual Memorial Service for state peace officers.
