The South Carolina Highway Patrol (SCHP) is once again looking to earn a top spot in America's Best Looking Cruiser Calendar Contest.
This annual contest, held by the American Association of State Troopers (AAST), allows state highway patrol agencies across the United States to compete for the privilege of showcasing their state patrol cruiser in the AAST’s Best Looking Cruiser Calendar.
Each state highway patrol and state police agency has the opportunity to submit a photo for the contest. The public then gets to vote on the best-looking state patrol cruisers from around the nation. The 13 states that receive the most votes between now and July 13 at Noon will be featured in the 2027 America’s Best Looking Cruiser Calendar, with the winner displayed on the cover.
Since the contest began in 2014, SCHP has participated every year, with the highest placement of 14th.
Not only does this effort showcase highway patrol agencies nationwide, but the proceeds from calendar sales also contribute to the American Association of State Troopers Foundation, funding educational scholarships given to the dependents of member troopers across the country.
To vote South Carolina in America’s Best Looking Cruiser Contest:
- Go to 2026 Best Looking Cruiser Contest Survey
