Connecticut State Police Traffic Cruisers Up For Best Looking In Nation

CONNECTICUT — It's time for state residents to tell the rest of the nation that the Connecticut State Police have the coolest rides.

And it's a lot more fun than seeing them in the rear view mirror.

That's right, it is time for the 13th-annual national "Best Looking Cruiser" contest.

Voting is live and runs through noon on on July 13.

Connecticut has entered the 2026 Ford Mustang GT. The vehicles are being used for traffic enforcement.

The photo was taken at Avery Point in Groton.

The contest is organized by the American Association of State Troopers as a friendly competition between state agencies that allows the public to support and interact with law enforcement in a positive manner.

This year’s contest will again be tabulated through the SurveyMonkey website, and for added protection against double voting, organizers have added a captcha question and will be monitoring both time stamps and IP addresses.

To cast a vote in the "2026 Best Looking Cruiser Contest" go to the website link through the CSP Facebook and Instagram pages or click on the following link: www.CSPnews.org/vote

Voting is live and will continue through Friday, July 13 at noon.

The winner will be presented with the "Best Looking Cruiser Award" and featured on the cover of the AAST’s "America's Best Looking Trooper Cruisers 2027 Wall Calendar."

The calendars will be available for pre-order shortly after the close of the contest at www.statetroopers.org . Calendar sales will benefit the American Association of State Troopers Foundation, which provides educational scholarships to dependents of member troopers.
