Reducing Police Firearm Theft with In-Vehicle Vault Systems
It is estimated that one gun is stolen somewhere in America every 90 seconds. That adds up to about 380,000 stolen firearms every year, with most falling into the hands of criminals. The irony is that many of these black market guns are stolen from law enforcement vehicles that lack proper firearms storage. In 2020 especially, having state-of-the-art weapons storage is essential, as a record number of police vehicles are being damaged and broken into following the civil unrest that has become prevalent across the country. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, 156 patrol vehicles were damaged during the height of the civil rights protests earlier this year, and eight of those vehicles were totaled. Similar incidents have occurred in every state across the country, making in-vehicle police command vaults an essential tool in every agency.
Police car storage vaults help protect the most dangerous yet essential service weapon that law enforcement personnel carry. These storage solutions are crafted specifically for law enforcement use using the most durable materials available. At Troy Products, our police vehicle storage vaults are made with all-welded construction and 14 to 16 gauge corrosion-resistant steel (CRS) housing for years of longevity. Push-button locks and compression latch locks eliminate drawer rattle while offering enhanced security. They’re always made in the USA, and they’re created to perfectly fit sedans, SUVs, trucks, and other common types of law enforcement vehicles. We have more than 60 unique police car storage vaults to choose from, so every agency can find their perfect, most secure in-vehicle firearms storage solution.
As the nation continues to see strife between civil protestors and law enforcement offers, police command vaults must be considered an essential investment. Black market weapons are a dangerous country-wide epidemic, and they will continue to be only more dangerous as the country experiences further rioting and turmoil. There are strict policies in place, across both state governments and local agencies, that require officers to adequately lock up their firearms when vehicles are left unattended. Troy Products’ police command vault will help ensure that you always have a convenient yet secure place to store your equipment, so you can remain in compliance with all local and federal guidelines.
Since 1991, Troy Products has been designing and manufacturing products for use in law enforcement vehicle applications with emphasis on safety, comfort, convenience, and aesthetics. We offer many standard designs but also work with agencies to design custom products guaranteed to meet their specific operational needs.
