AUGUSTA, Maine — Maine Gov. Paul LePage has ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff to honor police officers.

LePage issued the directive that’ll be in effect from sunrise to sunset on Tuesday.

He says the lowering of the flags is in honor of Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police Week. The president also issued a proclamation to that effect.

  1. Thank-you to all law enforcement officers for your work and service and thanks to all who work in support of these officers on a daily basis…..may you all be safe……

  2. Yes he ordered it, but probably after having heard about the article where it was difficult to recruit new police officers.. he probably thinks will prove he cares… NOT!

    1. Come on now Sadie,  LePage is ordering the flags be flown half-mast.  Couldn’t you give the guy a break instead of trying to turn a positive into a negative for political reasons.  Shame on you.
