Police Car
Upfitting.
One quote. One vendor. Total transparency. Police car upfitting shops are everywhere; a single source that sells the vehicle, builds it, finances it, and warranties it for life is not.
Anatomy of
A Police Car Upfit.
Five zones, one standard. Pick a zone to see what we install there and why it outlasts the chassis.
Seen From a Mile Out.
Lightbars, grille and mirror lights, perimeter and takedown lighting, and siren systems from Whelen, SoundOff Signal, and Federal Signal, driven by smart controllers. Flash patterns change with a firmware upload, not a rewire.
Price a lighting packageThe Office That Rides Along.
Havis consoles, computer docks and mounts, radio and control-head placement, and power management, laid out around the officer, not around whatever hole was easiest to drill. Customer-supplied radios mounted and wired at no drama.
Browse consoles and mountsSecure Back to the Station.
Setina and Pro-gard partitions, seat and floor pan conversions, window barriers, and door panels, installed to torque spec with the factory airbag zones respected. The part of the build where “good enough” is not a phrase we use.
Spec a transport packageEvery Tool In Its Place.
Weapon mounts and locking storage, cargo slides and drawer systems, K9 inserts, and medical equipment mounting. Gamber-Johnson and Havis hardware, anchored to structure, never to trim.
Build your storage layoutThe Part You Never See.
The Part That Matters Most.
FountHarness ties every zone together: labeled, braided, fused, color-coded circuits with sealed connectors and a QR-coded wiring diagram in the door jamb. Any tech can service it, in any state, in year six. That’s the photo of a real one.
Why we warranty it for lifeBuilds We Do.
Patrol Units
Full pursuit-rated builds: lighting, siren, console, partition, cargo, graphics. The bread and butter, done right.
K9 Units
Climate-monitored K9 inserts, door poppers, heat alarms, and handler equipment, built around the dog’s safety.
Unmarked & Undercover
Concealed lighting in the grille, visors, and mirrors. All the capability, none of the profile.
Command & Admin
Chief and supervisor vehicles with communications, scene lighting, and clean interiors that still mean business.
Fire & EMS Command
Battalion and chief vehicles, EMS interceptors, and brush trucks, plus lighting retrofits for existing apparatus.
Specialty & SWAT
Tactical vans, prisoner transports, and one-off mission builds. If it bolts to a vehicle, we’ve probably wired it.
Every build type gets the same FountHarness wiring, Triple-Check QC, and lifetime installation warranty.
You Watch
Every Step.
We removed the guesswork from police fleet procurement, from gate-free instant pricing to real-time build photos.
Instant Itemized Pricing
Skip the email gates and sales calls. The configurator prices your cruiser instantly, itemized by part, so you can compare manufacturers and cut what you don’t need.
The Command Center
Manage your fleet’s specs, VINs, and arrival dates, and handle procurement, insurance, and tax documents from your desk in the FountFleet Portal.
Photos & Triple-Check
Live build photos as your unit comes together, then three separate 100-point inspections by three different techs, with the photographed results delivered to you.

Police Vehicle Upfitting,
Done Right.
What upfitting is. The installation of emergency equipment into a patrol vehicle: lighting, siren, controller, console, partition, weapon storage, and the wiring that ties it together.
Where quality hides. In the parts you never see. Labeled, color-coded, braided circuits with fused distribution and sealed connectors, documented by the QR code in the door jamb.
Who does the work. Upfitter University certified technicians installing Whelen, SoundOff Signal, Federal Signal, Setina, Pro-gard, Havis, and Gamber-Johnson equipment, backed for life.
Upfitting Questions, Answered.
What is police car upfitting?
Upfitting is converting a factory vehicle into a duty-ready patrol unit: emergency lighting, siren and controller, console and computer mounts, prisoner partition, weapon and cargo storage, graphics, and the wiring harness that powers all of it. A finished upfit is why a Tahoe PPV can run a 12-hour shift with everything working at hour twelve.
How much does police vehicle upfitting cost?
Anywhere from a basic lighting package to a fully loaded K9 command build. The configurator prices your exact equipment list instantly, itemized and pictured, with no email gate. Two minutes gets you a real number you can plan a budget around.
How long does an upfit take?
Standard builds run on a published schedule of about 30 to 40 business days depending on the hub, and Rapid Deployment units are ready to be built immediately from in-stock equipment. Your chassis goes into a scheduled bay, not a waiting lot. See current lead times.
Do you work with departments outside Pennsylvania?
Every day. Agencies in 49 states run our builds. We arrange transport both ways or deliver turn-key from our inventory, and the lifetime warranty travels with the vehicle through our national service network. Hubs in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Texas.
What happens if something fails after delivery?
You call us and we fix it. Our installation carries a lifetime warranty, our wiring is documented so any tech can service it, and our national network handles warranty work regionally. One vendor, one warranty, one call.
Build Your Cruiser
In Plain English.
Pick “mirror lights,” not part numbers. The configurator adds the right hardware, wiring, and labor automatically, priced on screen, and every build ships with the lifetime warranty.
