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 formed a small, local motorcycle club.

As of June 1, 2009, we have 19,622 members, in 599 Chapters, spread over 29 countries around the world.

Calgary's chapter (Alberta V) is located within the West Coast Conference, that consists of over 1500 members in 45 different chapters.

According to the By-Laws, our purposes and goals are:

1. To provide for the mutual assistance, enjoyment, entertainment, education, physical, mental and social benefit of its members and the general public.

2. To promote and advance the sport of motorcycling and the safety of motorcycling.

3. To serve the interests of motorcycle owners and users.

4. To promote by example and any other acceptable means, safe use, operation and enjoyment of motorcycles.

5. To develop a fraternal spirit between law enforcement personnel and the general public.

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 travelling, local members can provide assistance, directions and sometimes a place to stay. We are truly a family.
