The Defender Supply Difference
What makes Defender Supply different than other upfit and law enforcement supply companies? We are focused on customer service throughout the process; even after the cars are delivered. To us, that means providing the customer with the highest quality build on every job, big or small.
Quality Is Free
Our complete understanding of vehicle dynamics and operating systems allows us to design and up-fit police vehicles to your specifications. Our Certified Master Mechanics have a complete understanding of police vehicle operating systems and the performance effects of optional emergency equipment, greatly reducing the risk of build errors and costly down time.
We Understand Your Needs
As the premier emergency vehicle provider in the United States, our industry experience gives us a unique advantage in maximizing budget dollars and building cost effective law enforcement and security fleets.
Top Grade Installation
The quality of our installation begins well before the technician starts the build. We continually review the build beginning with the first contact with the customer to make sure that the unit is to the customer’s exact specifications, that the equipment is designed to fit the vehicle itself, and that all the items will function with one another before any work is performed. Once the up-fit is complete, the technician signs off on the work order and then the up-fit is reviewed and signed off on by a QA director (a group of people that we have designated as having the experience necessary to ensure the vehicle is built per the specifications of the work order and with quality above expectations).
Quality Control
Quality Control is extremely important and is a primary avenue for growing our business. We have found that word of mouth in the public safety industry is very powerful and that our customers are passionate about their vehicles and the equipment installed in them. In the rare instance an issue arises with the work we have completed on a vehicle, the technician who installed the equipment in the vehicle is responsible for the warranty of their work, hence increasing their interest in getting the vehicle up-fit right the first time, every time. We take the warranty of our work very seriously and do everything in our power to quickly solve any issues with our work before it leaves our facility.
Meet Our Team
Through our people, Defender Supply has established itself as a respected and progressive group in a very competitive industry. We have proved through the years that it is possible to combine a personal touch sales effort with a quality driven installation that concludes with the ultimate goal of complete customer satisfaction. Our technicians are all either EVT Certified or are in the process of working towards certification. Each Technician takes complete ownership of their builds. This responsibility covers not only the visual aesthetics of the completed installation but the unseen workability of each and every component. We understand the importance of building tools for the law enforcement profession. You, as the customer, have a job to do and your tool of choice should never alter your ability to complete the task safely and effectively.
