Recognizing Peace Officers

By order of the president, the flag at Fairhope’s pier park flies at half staff MAY 15 2025 for Peace Officers Memorial Day. Flags across the nation are lowered until sunset in recognition of fallen law enforcement officers. MAY 11th-17th is designated as Police Week.

“On Peace Officers Memorial Day and during Police Week, we honor our brave officers who serve on the front lines to protect our families, safeguard our communities, and shoulder a burden of responsibility that most Americans cannot fathom. This week and always, we honor the courageous men and women serving in law enforcement and memorialize those who sacrificed their lives defending the thin blue line,” Trump said.
