Governor Tony Evers today signs an executive order, ordering the flags of the United States and the state of Wisconsin to be flown at half-staff on Wednesday, November 24th in honor of Beloit Police Officer Daniel J. Daly, who lost his life in the line of duty due to complications from contracting COVID-19.

Evers says Dan dedicated more than two decades of his life to selflessly serving the people of this state, and he and his wife extend their deepest sympathies to his family, the Beloit Police Department, and all those who knew and loved him.

Daly passed away on November 15th at the age of 48, after contracting COVID-19 in the line of duty. He first joined the Beloit Police Department as an intern in 1994 and was sworn into service in 1997, rising to become a field training officer and Honor Guard member.

His services will be held Wednesday in Beloit.
