On Saturday August 28th 2004, WA I members Milt Wu, Larry Wanamaker, and Dennis Tangborn joined members of Concerns of Police Survivors at their annual picnic in Seatac.  We displayed the National Law Enforcement Police Memorial flag that was on hand at this year's COPS RUN.  Many survivors signed the flag, seen above, and a great photo was taken of the flag, surrounded by those in attendance, as the King County Police helicopter takes off.

(Both crew members, by the way, are contemplating joining the Blue Knights)

SEE YOU AT THE COPS RIDE IN 2008

 

MARCH 2007 UPDATE:

THIS SAME FLAG HAS BEEN CHOSEN TO BE THE FIRST ITEM INDUCTED INTO THE NATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS MEMORIAL MUSEUM IN WASHINGTON D.C.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter Overview

Here is a brief overview of WA I, our chapter of Blue Knights.  Check out our ride schedule for year long activities.  Other chapters in Washington and surrounding states/provinces have events that some of our members periodically go to as well.  In fact, any member can attend any variety of Blue Knight functions around the country and beyond.  There are chapters in Europe that have hosted US members and vice versa!

 

We have members from many different agencies providing good opportunities to network, a great social atmosphere, and interesting events.  We have two guys only rides in the Spring and Fall; but, the wives also do their own get-aways during these times.  Everyone who goes report that they have a great time.  In May, we do a money raising ride to Concrete and watch the Fly In at the Airfield.  The money we raise goes to “Concerns of Police Survivors”.  An annual Memorial Day Week-end ride to Boise has turned into a popular “non-event” called the “Spud Run”.  We are met by Blue Knight members from BC, Alberta, ID, OR, CA, WY, CO, and beyond.  During June, we have “Applecore”, an annual week-end for the whole family in Leavenworth.  We do a day ride, games for the kids (of all ages), a barbeque dinner, and a breakfast the next morning.  The WCC (West Coast Conference) and the International Conference are annual “big” events that are attended by members from all over the states and Canada; and some from Europe even.  We end the year with a Christmas Banquet.  It gives us a chance to dress up and take the wives or significant others out.  It’s a great time! 

 

Our meetings are held every other month, usually on Sundays.  Contact us for specific times and places.

A Police Officer's Prayer

Lord, I ask for courage

Courage to face and

conquer my own fears...

Courage to take me

where others will not go

And please, Lord,

through it all,

be at my side...
