Kentucky State Police has entered the American Association of State Troopers (AAST) “2024 Best Looking Cruiser Contest.”
KSP, which won the contest in 2021 and 2022 and has won four total competitions, will battle against state law enforcement agencies from across the country. The winning photo will be on the cover of the association’s 2024 wall calendar.
The agency entered a 2024 Ford Mustang GT, as the photo “celebrates the commonwealth’s nationally recognized horse industry,” the governor’s office said.
“Our state police are the best in the nation and one way we can show our support for them is by casting our vote in the best-looking cruiser contest,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “KSP won the contest in 2021 and 2022, and it’s time to take back the title. I will be casting my vote and encourage Kentuckians to join me.”
The photo entry pictures the Mustang GT in front of the Secretariat statue in the roundabout at Alexandria Drive and Old Frankfort Pike in Lexington.
“This photo is a testament to Kentucky’s beloved horse racing industry,” the governor’s office said, “and honors the recent 50th anniversary of Secretariat’s triple-crown win and the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby.”
Kentuckians can cast votes once per device per day by clicking here. Voting ends on July 29 at 11:00 a.m. central time. KSP will post the most up-to-date standings on Facebook, Instagram and X.
Florida won last year’s competition.
