Flag Lowering in Honor of Sgt. Caleb Eisworth

In honor and remembrance of Baton Rouge Police Department Sgt. Caleb Eisworth, who passed away this morning following a targeted attack in the line of duty, all City-Parish departments are asked to lower the United States flag and the Louisiana flag to half-staff immediately.

Flags should remain at half-staff until sunset on the day of his funeral. We will share funeral service details as soon as they are available.

This act serves as a solemn tribute to Sgt. Eisworth's life, service, and sacrifice to the people of Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish. Thank you for your cooperation in honoring his memory.
