The Blue Knights® International Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, Inc. is a non-profit fraternal organization consisting of active and retired law enforcement officers 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. The Blue Knights have more than 630 chapters and 20,000+ members i
n 24 countries. BK MD IV was formed in 1991 by a group of 15 individuals (13 new and 2 transfers). We currently have 25 members, in both active duty and retired status, from several different law enforcement agencies in our area. Mary's County Sheriff's, Charles County Sheriff's, Prince George’s County Police, Maryland State Police, USAF OSI, USAF Security Police, U.S. Park Police, U.S. Secret Service, Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police and others. Our Chapter was long associated with 'ROLLING THUNDER, RIDE TO THE WALL', the annual Memorial Day motorcycle event in Washington D.C., demonstrating for the return of those who have yet to come home from Vietnam. We designed and sold one of the officially licensed event t-shirts and hosted a 3-day event in Southern Maryland for Blue Knights traveling to the event for that weekend. We are heavily involved in supporting the Charlotte Hall Veterans Home in Charlotte Hall, MD. We also donate to Law Enforcement Officers and/or their families in need, and to other charities!

The Blue Knights have now been included in the American Police Hall of Fame and Museum. The museum is the nation's first national police museum and memorial dedicated to law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. American Police Hall of Fame & Museum
