ANNOUNCEMENT FOR Tomorrow May 15!
Governor Gretchen Whitmer has ordered U.S. and Michigan flags within the State Capitol Complex and upon all public buildings and grounds across the state of Michigan to be lowered to half-staff Friday, May 15, in recognition of Peace Officers Memorial Day.
"Today, we honor the brave officers who made the ultimate sacrifice to our state,” said Governor Whitmer. “These men and women in uniform stepped up every day to protect their communities, risking their own safety to protect ours. As we reflect on their sacrifices, let’s honor their memories and recommit to supporting their families and fellow first responders.”
