RICHMOND — The American Association of State Troopers is conducting its annual “Best Looking Cruiser” contest for the 10th year in a row, and Virginia State Police are asking for Virginians to vote.
The contest began as a friendly competition between state agencies and has proven to be a fun and engaging way to allow community members to support and interact with law enforcement in a positive manner.
The 12 photos to receive the most votes are featured in The American Association of State Troopers (AAST) “America’s Best Looking Trooper Cruisers 2024 Wall Calendar.” The state police or highway patrol agency to receive the most votes earns a “Best Looking Cruiser Award” and is featured on the calendar’s cover. Calendar sales benefit the AAST Foundation, which provides educational scholarships to dependents of AAST member state troopers nationwide.
The Virginia State Police (VSP) won a coveted spot in the calendar the first year the contest was held. Since then, VSP has worked hard to be featured again. This year’s photo submission was taken outside Arlington Cemetery on July 4 and features the Washington, DC skyline.
The public is invited to cast their vote and move VSP up in the ranks. Right now Nevada and Florida are leading the charge, but VSP said it knows its cruiser is truly the best looking nationwide.
To vote, access the website link through the Virginia State Police Facebook and Twitter pages, as well as the AAST Facebook page, or click on bestlookingcruiser2023 a
Voting is ongoing and continues through noon on Monday, July 31.
