Lenco BearCats are praised for their excellent mobility, allowing the ability to navigate both city streets and off-road terrain. Built on a Ford commercial truck chassis, our engineers have modified the wheelbase to enable a tighter turning radius, providing the capability to make quick U-turns and navigate sharp corners. The BearCat’s ability to turn in its own length makes it the most maneuverable of any armored vehicle in its class.

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.

In a recent incident in Burnsville, MN, the Rosemount Police Department’s Bearcat proved to be instrumental in saving lives. “We believe that the suspect shot over 100 times in that incident. The Bearcat took 41 of those rounds. They were able to give medical treatment behind the safety of this armored vehicle and attempt to save those officers’ lives while still taking fire from the suspect. Because this vehicle was on scene, it’s my estimate that we didn’t lose another 6-10 officers that day.” – Rosemount Police Chief Mike Dahlstrom This video details more on the incident, as well as the scars left behind from gunfire.

Every Lenco vehicle is built with Mil-Spec steel armor plate that is certified to defeat multi-hit attacks from 7.62 AP to .50 caliber BMG rounds—and ballistic glass windows that offer the same balistic protection. This kind of armor saves lives, offering unparalleled protection for the officers who respond to often dangerous calls, like a recent shootout in Mooresville, NC. Iredell County Sheriff’s Office responded to calls of an active shooter incident, leading to the shootout before securing the scene. “I’m betting we’ve heard at least 300 shots” Read more about the incident on our blog at https://lnkd.in/e73tYwUm #BlogPost #FirstResponders #SpecialResponseTeam #TacticalEquipment #RespondtotheCall #LifeSaving #ArmoredVehicles #BearCat #LencoArmoredVehicles
