The BLUE KNIGHTS ® is a non-profit fraternal organization consisting of active and retired law enforcement men & women who enjoy riding motorcycles. In the Spring of 1974, several law enforcement officers from the Bangor, Maine (USA) area met and and formed a small, local motorcycle club. The rest, as they say, is history. Soon, Blue Knight chapters were being formed in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and beyond. With the addition of Canada, and later Australia, the Blue Knights became an international organization. Many Blue Knights work long and hard to raise money for various charities. Especially near to our hearts is helping children. Make-a-Wish Foundation, Toys for Tots, D.A.R.E., and Concerns of Police Survivors are some examples of our favorites.
The Blue Knights is a family fraternity. Spouses and children often accompany our members to the various rides and functions. When travelling, local members can provide assistance, directions and sometimes a place to stay. We are truly a family. Among the Blue Knight members,"There are no strangers, only friends you haven't met." As a Chapter of the Blue Knights International we strive to follow the by-laws and maintain a good image of the Blue Knights. We are comprised of federal and local law enforcement, as well as area military, which includes, but is not limited to, Brawley, Calexico, and El Centro Police Departments, California Highway Patrol, The California Dept. of Corrections, United States Customs, Imperial County Sherrif's Dept., United States Border Patrol, the United States Navy and Marines, and the California National Guard. We hold our monthly meetings on the first thursday of each month in a location usually decided upon at the previous meeting. There we discuss all upcoming rides, events, and any other business that may come up.
One of our goals is to have at least one chapter ride per month. Not only one, but at least one. So far this year we're doin' good.
