Blue Knights NC Chapter 2
Wake County Chapter
8 October 22
Blue Knights NC Chapter 2 is one of the only all law enforcement motorcycle clubs in existence. They require members to either be current sworn law enforcement officers or have retired as sworn law enforcement officers in good standings. The Blue Knights are a non-profit organization that does charity rides for officers and their families who are injured or killed in the line of duty and also to benefit our local communities.
On October 8, 2022 they did an amazing ride called the Le Tour De Femme. This is where the Blue Knights ride alongside these amazing women who have beaten cancer or are going through it. They ride alongside to make sure they are all safe. These women are on bicycles doing 1 of the 3 different length courses to raise awareness for people battling cancer and the Blue Knights every year, are there, by their sides to make sure they all stay safe. This is just a taste of what this group does around their community. They will soon be hosting a Back The Blue ride on March 25, 2023 that will raise money for fallen officers that are killed or severely injured in the line of duty. They also just made a donation in November 2022 to the Kiwanis Pancake Dinner which supports underprivileged local children. If you are a law enforcement officer or a retired law enforcement officer this group is truly an amazing group to be a part of. They are more than just a group, they are a family. They welcome any interested potential members or the public to stop by one of their meetings. They meet every second Tuesday of every month at 7:00pm at Logans in Garner NC.
Blue Knights International pledge: “As a Blue Knight, I pledge to act with honor and 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.”
