Peace Officers Memorial Day honors law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. The Flag Code addresses half-staff display on this occasion and includes an exception when it is also Armed Forces Day.

Check the Date and Exception

The observance is May 15. Check the year-specific calendar and current official instructions before deciding how to display your flag.

Read the Actual Scope

Review the proclamation and applicable state directions for the covered flags and facilities. General observance information does not remove the need to check a separate active order.

Remember the Ending Instruction

Follow the stated timing and check for overlapping orders before returning to full staff.
