Gov. Malloy Directs Flags to Return to Full-Staff on Friday Evening
(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Dannel P. Malloy today announced that U.S. and state flags should return to full-staff at sunset on the evening of Friday, April 6, 2018. Flags are currently flying at half-staff across the state in honor of Connecticut State Police Trooper First Class Kevin M. Miller, who was killed in a motor vehicle accident while on duty last week.
Governor Malloy and Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman will be in attendance at the funeral services for Trooper First Class Miller, which are being held on Friday morning at Rentschler Field in East Hartford.
“It is with incredible sadness that we mourn the loss of a man who dedicated his career toward ensuring that our communities remain safe,” Governor Malloy said. “And we must also remember that in addition to his role protecting the public, Trooper First Class Miller was devoted to his family and friends, especially his children, whom he cherished. We must never forget the sacrifices that the families of our brave first responders make in their loved one’s call to service. I am incredibly proud of our Connecticut State Police troopers – they are among the best in the nation, and their professionalism is second to none.”
“Connecticut lost a fine and dedicated public servant and a good man. This grief will be with us for a very long time,” Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman said. “I hope the outpouring of support and love from across Connecticut and throughout the nation gives the Miller family and Trooper First Class Miller’s law enforcement brothers and sisters some solace during this very sad time.”
