Our mission is to provide for the mutual assistance, enjoyment, entertainment, education, physical, mental and social benefit of our members and the general public. To promote and advance the sport of motorcycling and the safety of motorcycling. To serve the interests of motorcycle owners and users. To promote by example and any other acceptable means, safe use, operation and enjoyment of motorcycles. To develop a fraternal spirit between law enforcement personnel and the general public.

The Blue Knights is a family fraternity. Spouses and children often accompany our members to the various rides and functions. When traveling, local members can provide assistance, directions and sometimes a place to stay. We are truly a family. We are part of the United Kingdom and Ireland Conference
Among the Blue Knight members,
"There are no strangers, only friends you haven't yet met."
In the Spring of 1974, several law enforcement officers from the Bangor, Maine (USA) area met and formed a small, local motorcycle club. From these humble beginnings, the Blue Knights have become an international organization with 572 chapters and over 19,000 members in 28 countries.
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. As of 30 September 2006 Blue Knights have donated to numerous charities; contributing goods and cash for a total of $ 8,462,149.08 (USD)
