As directed by Gov. Scott Walker, the flag of the United States and the flag of the state of Wisconsin will be flown at half-staff at all buildings, grounds and military installations of the state of Wisconsin beginning at sunrise and ending at sunset May 15, 2012.

In addition, any jurisdiction of this state is authorized to fly the flag of the United States and the flag of the state of Wisconsin at half-staff on any day during Police Week, May 13-May 19, 2012, for the purpose of honoring, in a public ceremony, peace officers who have given their lives in the line of duty.
