KSP harness horsepower in hopes of winning cruiser contest

From Captain Paul Blanton

Frankfort, KY - KSP has entered the American Association of State Troopers (AAST) "2024 Best Looking Cruiser Contest" and is competing against state law enforcement agencies from across the country. The winning photo will be on the cover of the association's 2024 wall calendar.

Gov. Andy Beshear and the Kentucky State Police (KSP) encourage Kentuckians to vote for its 2024 Ford Mustang GT as the nation's best-looking cruiser as a thank you to the agency's service. This year's entry celebrates the Commonwealth's nationally recognized horse industry.

"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. 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."

Voting starts today, Monday, July 15, 2024, and ends at MidnightET, on Monday, July 29, 2024. Kentuckians can cast votes once per device per day by clicking here:
