The Blue Knights is a fraternal organization of Law Enforcement Officers who share a passion for motorcycle riding. The parent organization (Blue Knights International) was formed in the Bangor/Brewer Maine cities in 1974 by seven Law Enforcement Officers who rode motorcycles together. In addition to hosting rides and runs for members and their families, the Blue Knights are very active in fundraising to benefit charitable organizations. From September 1, 1991 to March 30, 2002 Blue Knights have donated to 1677 charities; contributing time in the amount of 137,494.5 hours, goods with an estimated value of $445,081.91 and $3,183,729.06 in cash (USD). In the past years the organization has grown to a world wide organization promoting motorcycle safety, a positive motorcyclist image, and motorcycling as a family recreation. As of June 2002, we have over 14,000 members in 430 chapters in 19 countries!

As a member gets involved in Blue Knights they soon find the bond of Law Enforcement Officers is cemented by the extra bond provided by our love of motorcycling. There is no membership distinction as to rank, type of law enforcement department, or type of motorcycle. Just Blue Knights. Proof of our diversity shows in our leaders. Our founding fathers were from seven different departments.
