About Our Chapter

 The Pennsylvania Chapter was established in February 2025 with the assistance of Maryland's Mason Dixon Chapter. The Chapter started with just five members but hit the ground running to make their mark. They scheduled their first public event within the first two months of their establishment, and they are committed supporting local businesses and serving their community in the future.

The Iron Shields Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club was started in late 2006 in Suffolk County, New York.

At the time, many members still being active in their various Law Enforcement agencies, bonded together for a fresh concept of motorcycle riding and service to local community. Being aware of what some other riding clubs were involved in, we decided to offer an alternative.  The clear message was, "We will not skirt the line" between the outlaw image and Law Enforcement. This new group was a refreshing change from some clubs that were doing exactly that.

Our motto became "A Cut Above" because our general attitude was that of Law Enforcement with no blurred lines.  Our ranks swelled due to our commitment to upholding our pledge.  From our appearance and professional demeanor, when you come upon the Iron Shields in public, there is no mistake, we are Law Enforcement.  The Iron Shields enjoy a legitimate working relationship with Local, State and Federal Authorities.  We engage in programs with the United States Secret Service, one of these programs is called "Operation Safe Kids."  We have also been called upon by local Police Departments in assisting when a buffer was needed between the motorcycle community and local town residents.  Our commitment to serve has crossed over beyond our chosen profession.  We have traveled to places like Walter Reed Hospital and delivered much needed items to our wounded heroes and their families.  All this done while enjoying one of our favorite outlets, motorcycles.

Our Club has expanded to other states. We now have chapters in New York, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania with more chapters on the way.
