TALLAHASSEE, Fla., July 3, 2025—The Florida Highway Patrol is once again hoping its entry brings home first place in the 2025 Best Looking Cruiser Contest.

The back-to-back defending champions are looking to make it three in a row.

Floridians can vote for the FHP entry as the best-looking cruiser in the nation in this 14-day contest. Last day to vote is July 11 at noon EST.

The cruisers with the most votes will grace the cover of the American Association of State Troopers 2026 calendar.

“FHP is proud to once again take part in the AAST Best-Looking Cruiser Contest,” said Executive Director Dave Kerner. “This year’s photo captures the beauty of a Miami skyline sunset and showcases the strength of Florida law enforcement through our new Corvette, seized from a convicted drug trafficker as part of a joint FHP-DEA criminal investigation. We encourage everyone to show their support by casting a vote and helping us defend our title as the best-looking cruiser in the nation.”

The FHP corvette, seized during a joint criminal investigation into a nationwide drug trafficking organization with the Drug Enforcement Administration, is used during outreach events to help bring attention to traffic safety campaigns.

The best-looking cruiser contest is a yearly chance to bring attention and awareness to the American Association of State Troopers, which was originally formed by Florida State Troopers in 1989 and is headquartered in Tallahassee. Today, AAST is nationwide with thousands of members.

Proceeds from calendar sales will support the AAST Foundation, which offers educational scholarships to the dependents of troopers who are AAST members.

Additionally, AAST uses the money it raises to provide in-the-line-of-duty death benefits to surviving family members and assistance to troopers who lost their homes during natural disasters.

“The America’s Best-Looking Cruiser Contest is a unique way to not only support law enforcement and promote public safety, but to highlight the spirit of collaboration across America,” said FHP Col. Gary Howze II. “State troopers are proud ambassadors for their respective states and your Florida State Troopers take great pride in showcasing the Sunshine State as the best place in America to live and visit.”
