Modern state police and highway patrol vehicles photographed for America’s 2026 Best-Looking Cruiser contest.
The American Association of State Troopers held its 13th annual contest in 2026. Florida Highway Patrol won first place for a fourth consecutive year. The public selected the top 13 photographs for the 2027 wall calendar.
Forty-eight states submitted official photographs. Hawaii and Illinois did not appear in the official 2026 gallery, so their sections are clearly marked instead of using unrelated or older photographs. The numbered sections organize all 50 states alphabetically; they are not contest rankings.
