Why are flags at half mask???

May 15 is Peace Officer's Day. Flags at half mast to honor the peace officer's who have fallen in the line of duty.Why are flags at half mask???
Somone important has diedWhy are flags at half mask???
To mourn and honour someone a nation respects.


It takes more time to hoist a half-mast flag as the flag is first hoisted full and then lowered.
Is it mask or mast? I think it's mast
Flags are flown at ';half mast'; when someone of significant importance dies.
It's when a high ranking member of government, or a prominent civil figure has died.
