BOSTON - Governor Maura T. Healey today issued a flag lowering order in honor of Billerica Police Sergeant Ian Taylor, who was killed in the line of duty on April 26. The United States of America flag and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts flag will be flown at half-staff at all state buildings on the date of interment, Friday, May 3, 2024.  

“I’m heartbroken over the tragic death of Billerica Police Sergeant Ian Taylor. I’ve been in touch with Chief Roy Frost to offer my condolences and our administration’s full support during this terrible time. It’s clear that Sergeant Taylor was a remarkable person who dedicated his life to serving the community, especially when it came to supporting those who were suffering from substance use disorder. My heart goes out to his loved ones – his parents, wife and children – and the entire Billerica Police Department.”
