BlueOHIO STATE H IGHWAY PATROL

Blue Max ProgramThe Blue Max program is an incentive recognition system designed to recognize troopers who recover stolen vehicles with on-the-spot apprehensions. The Ace Award is earned by recovering five stolen vehicles with on-the-spot apprehensions in one calendar year. The officer recovering the most stolen vehicles is then designated as the Blue Max winner. Each Ace Award winner receives a certificate, special Ace license plates for display on his or her patrol car, and a uniform ribbon. The Blue Max winner receives a certificate, Blue Max license plates, a uniform ribbon, and exclusive use of a patrol car for a year. However, the Blue Max program offers much more than incentives.

Officer safety is supported with state-of-the-art communications that supply instant access to vehicle ownership and theft data from anywhere in the country. The officer also receives auto larceny enforcement news and tips from a bimonthly internal newsletter. To maintain a high level of vehicle theft enforcement knowledge among its officers, the Highway Patrol conducts several auto larceny courses every year at its Training Academy. Ace and Blue Max award winners are used as guest instructors during these courses to share their knowledge and experiences.

Since its inception in 1972, many law enforcement agencies throughout the United States have emulated this successful program. With continued support from the insurance industry and the public, the Blue Max program will continue to have significant impact on vehicle theft in Ohio.
