The Tennessee Highway Patrol is gunning for a glossy spot in the American Association of State Troopers' annual cruiser beauty pageant, of sorts. With the 12th Annual America's Best Looking Cruiser Calendar Contest underway, THP's got its photos taken before Knoxville's famed Sunsphere with their shiniest cruisers front and center - a 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 and a 2024 Ford Mustang, according to a statement obtained by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security.
Fans and law enforcement enthusiasts can now cast their votes for the Tennessee Highway Patrol—or any other state cruiser they believe stands out—as the annual competition officially opened yesterday, at 10 a.m. EDT. Voting runs through July 11 at noon EDT on the official American Association of State Troopers (AAST) website. To back Tennessee, supporters simply scroll through the gallery of contenders and select their favorite. In this friendly contest, visual appeal and sleek design take the spotlight over speed or response times.
This contest is about more than just good looks. The 13 states with the most votes will have their cruisers featured in a wall calendar, and the top pick gets the cover. Proceeds from calendar sales go to student scholarships through the American Association of State Troopers Foundation. So, every vote helps support education—a fun contest with a great cause, as detailed by the official announcement.
To keep fans and voters engaged, THP is actively posting updates and voting reminders across its social media platforms. Those interested can follow along on X (@TNHighwayPatrol), Facebook (Tennessee Highway Patrol), or Instagram (@tnhighwaypatrol) for the latest cruiser highlights and patrol news.
