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.

Summit County, Colorado, has acquired a new BearCat G3 in efforts to increase the protection and safety of civilians and officers in the community. Police Chief Tom Wickman noted that the response team “needed equipment to match its mission of responding in a coordinated way to the most dangerous situations we might face in Summit County and neighboring communities, including barricaded armed individuals, the execution of high-risk warrants, hostage situations and mass casualty events.” The BearCat will be added to a fleet of 2 repurposed armored military vehicles—however, Chief Wickman looks forward to the addition of a vehicle designed specifically for Law Enforcement. “As a police chief, I feel much better having a tool, like the BearCat, that will allow our first responders to negotiate, respond and operate with greater protection and to respond with more maneuverability in harsh weather conditions.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eH84w__5. #LawEnforcement #BearCatAcquisition #LencoBearCat #PublicSafety #ResponseandRescue #ArmoredVehicle #FirstResponse #LencoArmoredVehicles

Brick Township, NJ is preparing for winter storms by acquiring a BearCat G3 High-Water Rescue Vehicle. “The township first began investing in high-water and more capable off-road vehicles following the blizzard of 2010 and Superstorm Sandy less than two years later. A township woman died after suffering a medical emergency during the blizzard when the snow was too deep for traditional ambulances or rescue vehicles to reach her, and the need for such vehicles became more clear after evacuations were required during the flooding caused by the hurricane.” BearCats save lives—even outside of violent incidents. Built from the ground up with unbeatable protection and outstanding performance and maneuverability, the BearCat can stand up to the elements and bring help to where it’s needed most—no matter the conditions.
