President Joe Biden addressed police officers on Wednesday gathered in Washington to honor slain colleagues as he tries to prevent his Republican rival former President Donald Trump from capturing high-profile endorsements from their unions in the coming weeks.

President Biden’s speech, at the annual National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service at the U.S. Capitol honoring slain officers across the country, was an opportunity to speak directly to law enforcement as he competes against President Trump in the Nov. 5 presidential election.
