Why are flags at half-staff today, Jan. 9, 2019
Flags have been ordered at half-staff at all government buildings from sunrise to sunset.
PHOENIX — Governor Doug Ducey ordered that flags at all state buildings be lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sunset today, Wednesday, January 9, 2019, to honor the life of Salt River Police Department Officer Clayton Townsend, who died in the line of duty last night. Flags will also be lowered on the day of interment, which has not been set.
“Our prayers and deepest sympathies go out to the family and friends of Officer Clayton Townsend as well as to the men and women of the Salt River Police Department,” said Governor Ducey. “Arizona is grateful for his service and willingness to put himself in harm's way to keep others safe. In honor of Officer Townsend’s life and service, I’ve ordered flags at all state buildings be lowered to half-staff.”
