Foundation

Founded in 2005 with a Singular Mission.

Dana Safety Supply was founded in 2005 by a group of law enforcement and fleet professionals with a mission to provide the best equipment and expertise in public safety.

Over the years since, our company has grown to become a powerhouse with 54 locations in 17 states. We combine national scale with in-depth knowledge of and connection to each of our local markets to provide superior partnerships for state and local public safety as well as federal and military agencies with full GSA contract support.

Grown to a team of over 700

Over two decades as we’ve grown to a team of over 700, we’ve welcomed many former law enforcement and military personnel with expertise in administrative operations, budgeting and procurement, fleet management, patrol operations, special operations, and training.

This hands-on experience enables us to understand the demands, pressures, and technical requirements of the public safety profession like no other company.

Massive inventory levels to draw from

Our financial stability allows us to maintain inventory levels exceeding $60 million. When supply chain challenges derail other suppliers, your Dana Safety Supply Representative can guide you to our available inventory. Our industry leading production timelines get your annual fleet on the road faster, and with cutting edge technology. This customer-focused strategy has allowed us to build 24,000 vehicles annually, and growing!
