Blue Knights® Worldwide
We've put a brief overview of Blue Knights® International on this page as well as for each of the conferences. Each section has a link to the website for that Conference and a contact link.
Feel free to visit each of the websites and have a look around. Each of the website links will open either a new window or tab depending on how you have your browser configured.
Blue Knights® International Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club
The Blue Knights® International Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, or "International" as it's more commonly known is based in the Bangor/Brewer area of Maine, USA. As it says in more detail about the history of the Blue Knights®, the club was formed in 1974 by a few police officers interested in forming a club for law enforcement officers.
International co-ordinates the membership of all members throughout the world and charters chapters as new ones are formed. There is an International Board of Directors consisting of the International President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and Executive Director as well as the International Past President. They are responsible for the running of the club.
With the exception of the Executive Director, who is employed by International, all board members are either current or past chapter presidents having been elected to that position by the members.
