PIERRE, S.D. – On May 5th, Governor Larry Rhoden ordered that flags be flown at half-staff from sunrise until sunset statewide on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, in honor of Peace Officers Memorial Day.

Peace Officers Memorial Day will be widely recognized on May 15, 2025, across the nation. However, due to a wreath laying ceremony being hosted by South Dakota law enforcement on May 7, 2025, the Governor will be honoring our state’s peace officers accordingly.
