Chapter Support Rides

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 JUNE 12, 2010 METN COPS RUN

METN C.O.P.S. is in the planning stages of our 5th Annual Memorial Motorcycle Ride.

This ride will be all day, a ride of all rides. We will be riding both Middle and East TN areas.

 

The ride will kick off in Knoxville, TN, around 10 am and will ride to Chattanooga, TN,

where we will do lunch; then we will leave Chattanooga around 2 or 3 pm and ride to

Mt. Juliet, TN, where we will have dinner, music, etc., and we will be getting one of the

local hotels to block off rooms.

For those riders in the Middle TN area, we will begin the ride in Spring Hill/Columbia, TN, and ride to

Murfreesboro, where we will meet up with the other riders as they come down the interstate.

 

The ride is open to everyone, not just law enforcement, for public awareness of METN C.O.P.S.,

as well as educating the public on the losses of law enforcement officers and the survivors of

Middle and East Tennessee.

 

As stated, we are still in the planning stages, so we would like your assistance and/or suggestions/input

in making this ride a, “Ride to Remember.” Help us put the word out about our ride.

 

METN C.O.P.S. has asked the Blue Knights Chapters of Middle and East TN to assist in the planning;

however, there are other motorcycle clubs that we would appreciate your assistance in planning as well.

 

If you would like to assist or more information, please contact Trina Scott at 931-801-8587

or e-mail me to tadilworth@yahoo.com.

 

Other contacts are:  David McCoskey, BKTN-III, Knoxville, at 865-360-0003 and

David Stolinsky, Mt. Juliet PD, 615-566-9730.

New Blue Knights Website!

Blue Knights of Tennessee

 

 
The above link will take you to the new web site for all Tennessee Blue Knight members and chapters. One of the things I promised before being named the Tennessee State Rep, was my concern of communications between the Tennessee Chapters. This web site is a start and hopefully every Tennessee Chapter will contribute information about their events and rides.

Blue Knights International Club Website

The BLUE KNIGHTS® is a non-profit fraternal organization consisting of active and retired law enforcement men & women who enjoy riding motorcycles. 

In the Spring of 1974, several law enforcement officers* from the Bangor, Maine (USA) area met and 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 Miner, Ed Gallant, Mike Hall, Chuck Gesner, Wayne Labree, Chuck Shuman

According to the By-Laws, our purposes and goals are to: 

1. Provide for the mutual assistance, enjoyment, entertainment, education, physical,  mental and  social benefit of its members and the general public. 
2. To promote and advance the sport of motorcycling and the safety of motorcycling. 
3. To serve the interests of motorcycle owners and users. 
4. To promote by example and any other acceptable means, safe use, operation and enjoyment of motorcycles. 
5. To develop a fraternal spirit between law enforcement personnel and the general public. 

Many Blue Knights work long and hard to raise money for various charities.  Especially near to our hearts is helping children.  Make-a-Wish Foundation, Toys for Tots,  D.A.R.E., and Concerns of  Police Survivors are some examples of our favorites. 

We're the good guys!

The Blue Knights is a family fraternity.  Spouses and children often accompany our members to the various rides and functions.  When travelling, local members can provide assistance, directions and sometimes a place to stay.  We are truly a family. 


The Blue Knights Pledge
 
 
As a Blue Knight, I pledge to act with honor & pride to promote motorcycling and motorcycle safety by being an example of the safe use, operation and enjoyment of motorcycles. I will work at all times to improve the relationship between the motorcycling law enforcement community and the general public. The fraternal spirit will always guide me in relating to other Blue Knights.
