President Biden issued a proclamation designating May 15, 2023 as Peace Officers Memorial Day in honor of Federal, State, and local officers killed or disabled in the line of duty.

In accordance with the President’s proclamation and federal law (36 U.S.C. 175), Governor Carney has ordered both the U.S. and Delaware flags at government buildings and facilities be lowered to half-staff the morning of Monday, May 15, 2023 and returned to full staff at the end of the day.
