Thank you for your interest in helping the South Carolina Highway Patrol win this year’s National “Best Looking Cruiser” Contest! 

Sponsored by the American Association of State Troopers, the 2026 Best Looking Cruiser Calendar Contest will run from now until July 13, at 12:00 p.m. Each state highway patrol and law enforcement 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 US. The 13 states that receive the most votes will be featured in the 2027 America’s Best Looking Cruiser Calendar, with the winner displayed on the cover

About the “Best Looking Cruiser” contest:

America’s “Best Looking Cruiser” Contest is put on annually by the American Association of State Troopers (AAST). The state with the most votes will land on the cover of next year's America’s Best Looking Cruiser wall calendar! States in the top 13 spots will also have placement in the calendar. The calendars will be available for purchase in Fall 2026, and proceeds from sales benefit AAST’s Foundation, which provides educational scholarships to dependents of member troopers. So states earn bragging rights for a good cause!
