What a difference a new administration makes!
In the Obama White House, Black Lives Matter was invited to visit.
In the Trump White House, law enforcement officers are invited to visit.
Vice President Pence shared this on Twitter:
Law enforcement worked tirelessly to secure the inauguration. Today the President & I thanked them during a reception at The @WhiteHouse. pic.twitter.com/U4ODCEvKJW

The White House website has been updated to reflect the Trump administration’s commitment to law enforcement. Take a look:
Standing Up For Our Law Enforcement Community
One of the fundamental rights of every American is to live in a safe community. A Trump Administration will empower our law enforcement officers to do their jobs and keep our streets free of crime and violence. The Trump Administration will be a law and order administration. President Trump will honor our men and women in uniform and will support their mission of protecting the public. The dangerous anti-police atmosphere in America is wrong. The Trump Administration will end it.

The Trump Administration is committed to reducing violent crime. In 2015, homicides increased by 17% in America’s fifty largest cities. That’s the largest increase in 25 years. In our nation’s capital, killings have risen by 50 percent. There were thousands of shootings in Chicago last year alone.
Our country needs more law enforcement, more community engagement, and more effective policing.
Our job is not to make life more comfortable for the rioter, the looter, or the violent disrupter. Our job is to make life more comfortable for parents who want their kids to be able to walk the streets safely. Or the senior citizen waiting for a bus. Or the young child walking home from school.
Supporting law enforcement means supporting our citizens’ ability to protect themselves. We will uphold Americans’ Second Amendment rights at every level of our judicial system.
Here’s what President Trump tweeted out afterward:
It was an honor to host our amazing teams of law enforcement at the @WhiteHouse this afternoon. @VP Pence and I are grateful for all you do. pic.twitter.com/PPo5kAoOVk
