Flags to Half-Staff in Honor of Milwaukee Police Officer

Gov. Evers Orders Flags to Half-Staff in Honor of Milwaukee Police Department Officer Kendall Corder
 
MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers ordered the flags of the United States and the state of Wisconsin to be flown at half-staff across the state from sunrise until sunset on Fri., July 11, 2025, in honor of Officer Kendall Corder, who was killed in the line of duty on Sun., June 29, 2025, at the age of 32.

Last week, Gov. Evers released a statement regarding Officer Corder’s passing and announced the flags would be lowered to half-staff immediately across Wisconsin until sunset on Tues., July 1, 2025, and again on the date of Officer Corder’s interment, which was later scheduled for this upcoming Friday:  

“Officer Corder was responding to a shots fired call last week and ran toward danger when he was shot in the line of duty and ultimately passed away from his injuries. Our hearts break for Officer Corder, his family, loved ones, colleagues at the Milwaukee Police Department, and the greater Milwaukee community, and we join Milwaukeeans and Wisconsinites in honoring the life of this dedicated public servant,” said Gov. Evers. “Kathy and I will continue to keep his family and loved ones and all those who knew Officer Corder in our thoughts and our prayers as they mourn his loss and this merciless tragedy.”
