The Kentucky State Police is seeking its third consecutive win as ‘America’s Best-Looking Cruiser’ and invites Kentuckians to vote online in support of the agency. KSP won back-to-back championships in 2021 and 2022, earning the coveted calendar cover spot on the AAST yearly calendar. The agency has placed in the ‘Top 3’ in the past four years.
The American Association of State Troopers hosts an annual calendar contest and encourage state police agencies across the nation to submit a photo entry that is unique and represents their state. The winning photo will be featured on the cover and premiere in the January month of the AAST 2024 wall calendar.
For the 2023 entry, KSP incorporated a way to share their 75th Anniversary celebration in the backdrop of Kentucky’s heart and soul – Coal Country!
KSP wrapped a 2022 Dodge Charger with a blue and white paint scheme to match the markings of a 1978 Ford cruiser. The photo was captured at the Blue Diamond Coal Co. located in Hazard, Ky.
“Kentucky is known internationally for its coal mining industry and the hard-working individuals who work in the mines,” said KSP Public Affairs Commander Paul Blanton. “Our team intertwined the beauty of Eastern Kentucky splashed with two iconic symbols in that area, coal mines, and Kentucky State Police.”
