Capitol Dome Blue Lighting to Honor Fallen Officers

Jefferson City, Mo. (KFMO) - In honor of Missouri's fallen law enforcement officers, Governor Mike Kehoe is ordering the Missouri State Capitol dome, and Missouri Law Enforcement Memorial, to shine blue beginning at sunset Friday, until sunrise Sunday.

The annual ceremonies honoring fallen Missouri law enforcement officers will be held at the Missouri Law Enforcement Memorial on the north side of the State Capitol. The 2025 Candlelight Vigil will be held on this Friday, May 2, 2025, and the Memorial Service will take place Saturday, May 3.

The names of four law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty during 2024 have been added to the memorial's Wall of Honor in advance of this year's ceremonies, as well as two historical officer deaths for which the line of duty circumstances have recently been confirmed through research.

The Wall of Honor now includes 752 fallen officers.
