Major Police Supply

Founded in October 1989, Major Police Supply has spent more than three decades doing one fairly specialized thing: taking a bare vehicle and turning it into a working law enforcement, fire, or EMS unit. The company runs out of Kenvil, New Jersey, with a second shop in Laurel, Maryland, and it serves only the United States. That tight focus on emergency vehicle build-outs gives the operation a clear identity instead of the scattered catalog you sometimes see from general fleet vendors. Anyone coming across Major Police Supply through a business directory listing will find it sits in the Automotive section, which is technically accurate but undersells what happens inside those shops.

Emergency vehicle build-outs

The scope of the work covers a wider set of agencies than the name might first suggest. Police departments are the obvious customer, but Major Police Supply also lists fire and EMS, federal government, military, and amber/utility/construction fleets among those it equips. Single squad cars and large multi-vehicle fleet projects both fall within what the company handles, which is a meaningful distinction: outfitting one detective's sedan and outfitting fifty patrol units are different logistical animals, and Major Police Supply says it does both.

Equipment and installation services

The product and service list runs deep into the technical side of emergency vehicles. Automatic License Plate Recognition systems are part of what Major Police Supply offers, the kind of camera-and-software setup that reads plates against a database while a vehicle is on patrol. Alongside that sit armoring and ballistic protection, in-car computers and electronics, mobile command units, graphics and decals, and window tinting. The breadth here is the point: a department choosing Major Police Supply can source the plate reader, the armor, the computer, and the exterior markings from one place rather than stitching together three vendors and hoping the pieces play nicely.

Camera systems, armor, electronics

What ties those pieces together is the installation work itself. The site describes bumper-to-bumper professional installs, meaning Major Police Supply sells the hardware and then mounts and wires it. For an agency, this is consequential. A push bumper, a light bar, a radio, and a computer all have to coexist without one knocking out another, and a single shop owning the whole build avoids the finger-pointing that happens when parts come from five places and nobody installed them together. Handling the full assembly is, on paper, the kind of arrangement that keeps a fleet manager from chasing warranties across vendors.

Full assembly from shop to fleet

There is also a logistics layer that is easy to overlook. Major Police Supply offers drop-shipment and transport of vehicles directly from dealerships, so a fleet buyer can have new units routed to the build shop and delivered finished. That removes a step most departments would otherwise coordinate themselves. Coordinating dealer pickups, builds, and finished delivery is the unglamorous part of fleet work, and a vendor that names it up front tends to be one that has done it many times.

Fleet delivery logistics

Major Police Supply calls itself one of the largest emergency vehicle equipment suppliers and installers in the country. That is a self-description, not a third-party measure, so it is worth treating as positioning until backed by something outside the company's own pages. The October 1989 incorporation date is a different matter. A vendor that has stayed in a narrow government-and-public-safety niche this long has presumably cleared the procurement, insurance, and reliability bars that come with selling to agencies, since those buyers rarely keep an unreliable supplier around for decades.

Track record since 1989

On outside reputation, the picture is present but quiet. A Better Business Bureau profile exists for the Kenvil location, though the company is not BBB accredited and no rating or review count came up. Yelp pages exist for both the New Jersey and Maryland addresses, again without visible star ratings or review tallies. More interesting is a Procurated profile, which lists Major Police Supply as a supplier with reviews from verified government, higher-education, and non-profit buyers, the exact customer base this kind of business depends on. No aggregate score surfaced there either, and no Google or Trustpilot ratings turned up. Employment-side profiles on Glassdoor and Indeed exist but speak to the workplace, not the buying experience.

Major Police Supply is clearly visible across the platforms a serious B2B vendor would appear on, including a government-procurement-focused one, but very little of that visibility comes with a public score you can point to. Buyers in this space tend to vet through references and procurement records anyway, where a thirty-plus-year track record and a verified-buyer profile count for more than a star average. Anyone wanting a quick consumer-style rating will not find one here, and that absence is worth noting plainly.

Online presence without public ratings

Contact is handled well. Major Police Supply puts the phone number and a mailing address prominently on the site, the New Jersey base is a PO Box in Kenvil while the Maryland shop has a street address in Laurel, and business hours are posted as Monday through Friday, 8:30 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon. Reaching the company by email runs through a web form instead of a published address, which is a normal choice; nothing about the contact setup feels hidden or evasive.

East Coast service area only

One practical limit is geography. Major Police Supply serves the US only and operates from two East Coast locations, so a department on the West Coast would need to factor in transport distance for anything requiring the vehicle to physically come to the shop, even with the drop-ship logistics on offer. For agencies in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic corridor, that proximity is an advantage. The hardware can ship anywhere; the bumper-to-bumper install cannot follow it across the country.

The site describes a vendor that knows its lane and stocks it deeply, from ALPR and armoring down to decals and tint, with the installation muscle and fleet-delivery logistics to back the catalog. Major Police Supply appears on multiple relevant platforms without accumulating scored feedback on any of them, and geographic reach stops at the East Coast. Neither point undoes the core impression of a shop that has been building emergency vehicles since before most of today's in-car electronics existed. References for projects of comparable size and a clear delivery plan for the distance involved are the practical questions worth putting to Major Police Supply once the catalog checks out.
