State Unveils Blue, Black Support Law Enforcement License Plate

TALLAHASSEE, FL — The new specialty license plate supporting Florida law enforcement has a new look that reflects the logo adopted by the national Blue Lives Matter movement supporting law enforcement.

In contrast to the red, white and blue design used since the specialty license plate was approved by the Florida Legislature in 2002, the new Support Law Enforcement license plate is blue and black, the same colors used by the Blue Lives Matter movement.

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles has not commented on the reason for the license plate redesign, which coincides with nationwide criticism of law enforcement following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May and a call to defund law enforcement agencies.

The new Support Law Enforcement specialty license plate is available at all tax collector offices and license plate agencies across the state. A list of locations can be found online.

As of Sept. 1, 16,369 Florida vehicle owners had purchased the new Support Law Enforcement specialty license plate.

There is a $20 specialty plate fee in addition to other registration fees. A percentage of the revenue from the sale of this plate goes to the nonprofit Florida Police Benevolent Association Heart Fund.

A complete list of Florida’s specialty license plates can be found on the department’s website.
