In the Spring of 1974, several law enforcement officers* from the Bangor, Maine (USA) area met and formed a small, local motorcycle club. The rest, as they say, is history.
Soon, Blue Knight chapters were being formed in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and beyond. With the addition of Canada, and later Australia, the Blue Knights became an international organization.
*Our Founding Fathers are: Joel Rudom, Bill Robinson, Doug Minor, Ed Gallant, Mike Hall, Chuck Gesner, Wayne Labree, Chuck Shuman
As of July 2005, we have 553 chapters and almost 19,000 members in 28 countries.
BKNV1 History - The Blue Knights NV I Chapter was chartered in 1981 and has maintained continuous membership since that date. Membership has consisted of peace officers employed and retired from all levels of governmental law enforcement department/agencies to include city, county, state, and federal. BKNV1 hosted the International Convention last 15-20 July 2001 at the Tropicana Resort.
