 The Blue Knights was started in 1974 by Ed Gallant, a Police Officer with the Bangor, Maine Police Department. Ed had an idea to form a motorcycle club for people in law enforcement. Together with seven or eight other cops, the idea became a reality. After a story about the club ran in the local paper the United Press International and Road Rider Magazine also ran a story. Shortly thereafter, inquiries from all over began to pour in.

The first chapter outside Maine was in Brockton, MA. and the idea spread to Canada, where Moncton, N.B. became the first chapter outside the United States. The first Blue Knights International convention was held in 1975 at Squaw Mountain, Maine. Since that time the convention has been held all over the United States and Canada.

As of  July 2006, we have 572 chapters and over 19,000 members in 28 countries. As of 31st of December 2006 Blue Knights have donated to numerous charities; contributing time in the amount of 156,993 man hours (@ $20 per hour),  goods with an estimated value of  $524,401.37 and $4,879,272.30 in cash for a total of  $ 8,543,533.60 (USD)

Florida Chapter III was founded in 1988, and there are few Charter Members that are still active in the Chapter. As of January 2007, Florida III Blue Knights has 52 members from several different agencies representing Active and Retired Police Officers from Florida and Retired Police Officers from various States . We are always looking for new members. If you’re a current Police Officer, or a Retired Police Officer, who rides a Motorcycle feel free to contact one of our members and join today. On our “Application” page you will find more information and a down-loadable application.
