FHP said “this year’s submission was photographed in front of Tampa’s Sunshine Skyway Bridge during a typical Florida afternoon thunderstorm, and to commemorate America’s 250^th birthday, the bridge was illuminated in red, white, and blue."

The Georgia State Patrol came in at No. 3, just behind Michigan State Police at No. 2.

GSP’s 2026 submission also shows storm clouds rolling in, but instead of a bridge like FHP’s, there is a noble steed in the background.

FHP will be presented with the “Best Looking Cruiser Award” and will be featured on the cover of the AAST’s “America’s Best Looking Trooper Cruisers 2027 Wall Calendar.”
