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. 

*Our Founding Fathers are: Joel Rudom, Bill Robinson, Doug Minor, Ed Gallant, Mike Hall, Chuck Gesner, Wayne Labree, Chuck Shuman

As of  September 2002, we have over 15,000 members in 450 chapters in 20 countries! 

Many Blue Knights work long and hard to raise money for various charities.  Especially near to our hearts is helping children.  Turnstone, Make-a-Wish Foundation, Toys for Tots,  D.A.R.E., and Concerns of  Police Survivors are some examples of our favorites. 

From September 1, 1991 to July 14, 2002  Blue Knights have donated to numerous charities; contributing time in the amount of  139,694.5 hours,  goods with an estimated value of  $495,581.91  and  $3,229,486.06  in cash (USD). 

We're the good guys!

The Blue Knights is a family fraternity.  Spouses and children often accompany our members to the various rides and functions.  When traveling, 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"

 

For all the history buffs, our Chapter was Chartered on September 3rd 1993. We were the last chapter to assume a previous chapters number. Our Charter members were mostly transfers from Indiana I in Muncie Indiana.

Our 10 charter members were:

A.J. Barile, Joe Householder, Robert Kirby, Bill Michael, John Knoll, Ed Offerman, Sam Quate, Scott Roberts, Mike Vaughn and Kevin Zelt. Of those ten we have retained only 2. A. J. Barile and Scott Roberts

Hello all,

Our meeting was May 5th. It was nice to see everyone.

We talked about our ride and getting donations.

We voted on moving some funds from checking to savings. It passed.

Barry is also going to get a hold of the company for the pins to add 2012 to it. That was voted and passed.

The Credit Union advised that they voted to pay for the food again this year for our Charity ride.

I am going to get with Summit Chevrolet about their donation.

Next Saturday May 12th is the Police Memorial Ride.  We are going to meet at the FOP at 8:00 am. We are going to ride to the Memorial and then back to the FOP for lunch. I hope to see you there.

We have a TON of upcoming rides. Look at the events page.

Due to minimum count I may not be able to make every ride. I would ask if you plan on going to the ride email me so I can let our members know who is going to lead the ride.

All times on the web site are departure times. So please be on time.

NEXT MEETING WILL BE June 2nd AT 3:00 PM. FOP.

This meeting will be the last before our Charity Ride.

There has been a lot of motorcycle crashes this year. Keep an eye out and stay safe.

If anyone has ideas for rides this year please let us know.

If you have questions about meetings and times. Everything is posted online at:

WWW.BLUEKNIGHTSIND2.COM

We are also on Facebook at:

I look forward to seeing each of you in the coming year.

Ride with Pride
