DENVER ~ Denver, CO - In recognition of Peace Officer Memorial Day, Governor Jared Polis has ordered all flags to be flown at half-staff until sunset on Thursday, May 15th. This day is dedicated to honoring the brave men and women who have lost their lives while serving and protecting Colorado communities.
Governor Polis expressed his gratitude for the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers, stating, "Law enforcement officers put their lives on the line each day to keep us safe, and it is important for us to take a moment today to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our safety." He also extended his thoughts and prayers to the families of fallen officers.
Last November, voters passed Proposition 130 which allocated $350 million towards law enforcement recruitment, training, retention efforts, and benefits for families of officers killed in the line of duty. Governor Polis is committed to implementing this funding as quickly as possible in order to strengthen law enforcement and support the families of fallen officers. The legislature has formalized these investments through SB25-310 - Proposition 130 Implementation, which Governor Polis plans to sign into law soon.

In addition to Governor Polis' recognition of Peace Officer Memorial Day, President Donald Trump has also issued a proclamation honoring this day. In his proclamation, President Trump acknowledges the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers and their families. He also highlights his administration's efforts to make America safe again by reclaiming sovereignty at the border and restoring the rule of law in communities nationwide.
President Trump stated that he has asked Congress to codify his Executive Order mandating the death penalty for those who murder police officers. He also called for a crime bill with enhanced protections for law enforcement officers.
The President's proclamation designates May 15th as "Peace Officers Memorial Day" and the week in which it falls as "Police Week." He calls upon all Americans to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. He also urges the Governors of all states and territories to direct that flags be flown at half-staff on Peace Officers Memorial Day.
As the nation honors the brave men and women who have lost their lives while serving and protecting their communities, it is a reminder of the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers every day. Their dedication and bravery should never be forgotten, and this day serves as a time to honor their service and remember their legacies.
