Lenco has designed and fabricated 6,500+ armored vehicles for over 1,000 state and federal agencies in all 50 states.
About us
Since its founding in 1981, Lenco Armored Vehicles has been the most trusted manufacturer of tactical armored security vehicles by law enforcement, fire rescue and defense forces worldwide. The privately held, family-owned and -operated company revolutionized tactical response with the advent of the BEAR® and BearCat®, and since, has designed and fabricated more than 6,000 armored vehicles in service by nearly 800 state and federal agencies in all 50 states. Lenco prides itself on protecting defenders around the world and serving as the standard in the industry. Lenco armored vehicles are built on heavy-duty commercial truck chassis platforms. This allows for warranty covered repairs, maintenance service, and parts replacements on the vehicle chassis at any number of OEM dealers, truck centers and retail parts stores. Over a five-year period, the savings in maintenance costs alone often pays for the cost of a Lenco Armored Vehicle over other non-commercial, specialized military vehicles. Lenco armored trucks are built with Mil-Spec steel armor plate certified to defeat multi-hit attacks from 7.62 AP / .50 Cal BMG, while ceilings and floors provide enhanced blast and fragmentation protection. Our ballistic glass windows offer the same multi-hit defeat while providing superior clarity. Lenco armored vehicles are supplied with a long list of standard equipment and available options designed to meet mission specific requirements.

A Lenco BearCat is known for the armored protection and tactical features—but did you know the presence alone of a BearCat can often diffuse volatile situations? As Charles DiChiara describes, when a BearCat arrives, the tactical advantage is clear, which can intimidate dangerous suspects and even enable peaceful surrender. “Sometimes with SWAT teams they think that when the SWAT team arrives, it’s an escalation of force but for us it's actually a de-escalation of force. We're able to use it so that we don't have to use violence.” Safely protected inside the armored truck, the BearCat also provides officers the opportunity to approach an armed suspect to negotiate or talk them into surrendering. Simply put, Lenco BearCat Vehicles were built for safety.

What an incredible donation! The Pope County Sheriff’s Office of Russellville, AR recently received a generous and life-saving donation from Entergy's Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO) power plant—a Lenco BearCat. The BearCat was previously used by the power plant to protect the public and is being passed on to support local law enforcement and public safety efforts throughout Pope County. "Not only will this vehicle allow the sheriff's office to respond to events in Pope County, but it will also allow us to respond to a potential event at Arkansas Nuclear One."

Tom Green County Sheriff’s Office Special Response Team has been busy training their team to use the state-of-the-art features of their brand new BearCat G3. The agency plans to use the vehicle on SRT missions in Tom Green County, as well as throughout the rest of Concho Valley in Texas. Though the BearCat is fully equipped for tactical missions, it also commands a powerful presence, often serving as a de-escalation tool in dangerous scenarios. “One thing the BearCat gives us is a command presence when we pull on the scene. People understand, ‘it’s real now. I’ve been angry or this situation is developing,’ but when we arrive, the outcome is predetermined. Whatever it takes, we’re going to accomplish the job for public safety. We’re not surrendering.” – Tom Green County Sheriff Nick Hanna Read more about Tom Green County’s new BearCat here: https://lnkd.in/esuzEuUC #CustomerAcquisition #BearCat #TacticalVehicle #ArmoredVehicle #LawEnforcement #SpecialResponseTeam #ResponseandRescue #RespondtotheCall #ArmoredProtection #LencoArmoredVehicles

A recent shootout in Providence, RI has urged local police to get a BearCat of their own after relying on another agency’s BearCat to protect officers responding to the call. The new BearCat G3 was funded with money acquired from speed camera tickets, and is equipped with the ballistic protection and reliable mobility that the Providence Police Department needs. “Our officers wear bulletproof vests to protect themselves. This vehicle actually provides that ballistic protection.” – Providence Police Col.

The Kearney Police Department in Nebraska recently gave the public an insiders view of their recently acquired BearCat, which serves to protect officers and the public in crisis situations and, above all, save lives. As Sergeant Greg Benson explains, “I now have the means where I can enter into a piece of armor and I can approach that individual knowing that I am safe. We might be able to deploy some form of negotiations with this individual at somewhat of a closer distance and hopefully get a peaceful resolution.” At Lenco, we understand the dangerous nature of the jobs of first responders and make it our mission to design and manufacture armored vehicles that make their jobs as safe as possible. “This vehicle fits in the model of 21st century policing.” – Chief Bryan Waugh Read more on our blog: https://lnkd.in/g_2SitaY #BlogPost #SavesLives #ArmoredVehicles #FirstResponders #PurposeBuilt #MissionDriven #LawEnforcement #PublicSafety #BearCat #LencoArmoredVehicles
