CHEYENNE, Wyo. - Governor Mark Gordon, in recognition of Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police Week 2025, has ordered both the U.S. and State of Wyoming flags be flown at half-staff statewide from *sunrise to sunset on Thursday, May 15*, Peace Officers Memorial Day.

Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, Peace Officers Memorial Day and National Police Week pay tribute to those brave law enforcement officers who have died or been disabled in the line of duty.  A Presidential Proclamation may be found here [ [link removed] ].

*Statement from Governor Gordon: *

""On Peace Officers Memorial Day, we pause to honor the courage, dedication, and ultimate sacrifice of our law enforcement members who gave their lives in the line of duty. These heroes answered the call to serve and protect their communities, uphold the rule of law, and stand as a shield between danger and safety."

"Their dedication reminds us that peace is not merely the absence of conflict but the presence of justice, courage, and selfless service. Each officer we remember today represents the very best of Wyoming and demonstrates an unwavering devotion to the public good. It is important that we honor the fallen not just with words, but through our actions and a dedication to honoring their legacy."

"We also recognize the families, friends, and colleagues who carry the weight of their loss. Their strength and resilience inspire us all. To those who continue to serve on the front lines, I offer my deepest gratitude and reaffirm my commitment to support you in your vital work.""
