President Trump had the White House lit with blue late Wednesday to honor police officers who have been killed in the line of duty.
The illumination falls on Peace Officers Memorial Day, an annual observance first put into practice by President John F. Kennedy.
The observance comes in the middle of Police Week, which has brought thousands of law enforcement officers to the capital for a series of events.

We also honor those in blue who have been killed or disabled in the line of duty.”
