ABOUT US

Our chapter started April 26, 1990.  We are within the Mid-West Regional Conference and part of the Blue Knights® International Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, Inc. The Blue Knights® are a motorcycle club for current and retired Law Enforcement professionals and their families.

The members of Minnesota IV represent numerous law enforcement agencies in and around the Twin Cities metro area and others.  Currently we have over 40 fun loving silly members.  

There are other Blue Knight® Chapters in Minnesota.  Please see the links page for a chapter that may be close to you.

Benefits of Knighthood?

It is difficult stating what makes the Blue Knights® so special. Perhaps the following will help explain the kinds of feelings that flow when a bunch of motorcycle-riding police officers get together.

Knighthood is:

* Enjoying the company of different people who share not only the common bond of a career in law enforcement, but also a love of motorcycles.
* Being able to visit in any of our member countries and be treated like family.
* Various fund-raising activities for those less fortunate...

Being a Blue Knight is all this and much, much more.

There are no strangers in the Blue Knights®, only friends you haven't met yet and a few weird relatives.

If you are reading this, you probably have a friend, family member, loved one, neighbor, etc. that is in the field of Public Safety as well as a motorcycle enthuasist.  Remind them to Wear Their Vests!  Don't leave them on the front seat of the car until they are really needed.  Yes they are hot.  Yes they are warm, but it's easier to wash off sweat at the end of the shift then a bullet.  Sure we may smell a little, but I promise you a hug from a loved one saying thanks for wearing your vest but you stink is much better than the alternative.

  Drivers and Passengers

PLEASE remember to keep your eyes open for us. We drive squads, rescue rigs, motors and ambulances.  We do it fast and precise.  We are more fun to watch than NASCAR since we don't make just left turns.  Don't try capturing video of us while you are driving.  Yes the lights on the rigs are pretty, but pay attention to your driving.  Give us extra room when you pass us while we are helping others.  We appreciate all the distance between us on foot and you in your vehicles.

If you see our lights on or hear our sirens, please get out of the way as quickly as possible.  We are on a mission to help! Pull over to the right shoulder and give us the right of way. We want to get to the scene as quickly as possible and help as many as possible.  

Make sure to keep your eyes open after the first emergency vehicle passes by.  We are like deer, if you see one, you will proably see many more coming.

Finally, If you want to see the pretty lights up close stop by your local public safety agency and ask to see them. Bring your children, grand children, neices, nephews, etc.  Let them meet some real heroes; the men and women of Emergency Services.
