Kentucky State Police is looking to repeat as the winner of “America’s Best Looking Cruiser” contest.
The competition is sponsored by the American Association of State Troopers (AAST) and encourages state police agencies across the nation to submit a photo entry that is unique and represents their state.
KSP has placed in the top three the past three years and took top honors last year with 77,944 votes, “earning the coveted calendar cover spot on the 2022 calendar,” KSP officials said.
This year KSP’s entry (see photo) features a 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe, equipped with 20” tires and a 5.3 liter 4WD producing 355 horsepower and a ten-speed automatic transmission.
The photo was snapped on Pisgah Pike County Road in Woodford County with a picturesque backdrop featuring horse country.
Voting began on August 8, with KSP’s entry currently in second place with nearly 32,000 votes, about 1,500 votes behind California’s entry.
The winning photo will be featured on the cover and premiere in the January month of the AAST 2023 wall calendar.
“Kentucky is known as the bluegrass state and this photo showcases the timeless beauty our backroads offer,” KSP Public Affairs Commander Captain Paul Blanton said. “We are proud to serve Kentucky and we hope our citizens will cast their vote in support of KSP.”
