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.

Congratulations to the winners of our first-ever BearCat Giveaway! The contest, which closed to entries a year ago today, gave Law Enforcement agencies who do not currently own a BearCat vehicle the opportunity to enter to win a Free BearCat G1, equipped with Lenco’s standard ballistic protection, a hydraulic ram bar, wraparound running boards, four-wheel drive, seating for 8-10, a rotating roof hatch and roof-mounted spotlights. “The reason we wanted a BearCat—they’re designed for specifically what we would do on a daily basis, and we didn't necessarily have the funding available to buy one outright. So winning this contest, to us, was huge.” – Chase Mollomo Winners Chase Mollomo and Elliot Fejes of the Greensburg, PA Police Department and Westmoreland SWAT visited the Lenco facility as part of the acquisition process for their Free BearCat G3, and to express their thoughts and gratitude toward this unique opportunity. “Being a part of the Lenco family now is huge in my mind, especially after seeing the Lenco facility and the man hours that are put in to build these types of armored trucks….We couldn't be happier with taking delivery of this BearCat.” – Elliot Fejes #LencoLove #BearCatGiveaway #FreeBearCat #ArmoredVehicle #LawEnforcement #TacticalVehicle #LencoBearCat #LencoArmoredVehicles

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.
