PC Andrew Harper, 28, of Thames Valley Police, died on Thursday in Sulhamstead when he was dragged along the road by a vehicle after responding to a burglary.
A crowdfunding page to support the family of PC Harper, who got married last month, has already raised more than £100,000.
Suffolk police said the flag at its Martlesham Heath headquarters has been lowered as a mark of respect to the fallen officer.
The fundraising page, set up by Thames Valley Police Federation, read: "We confront danger on a daily basis. We know there is a risk when we put on the uniform but we do so as we are proud to protect the public.
