POINTER® Tactical Armored SWAT Van - Armored to Alpine Level A9 (B6+), the POINTER® is a versatile armored SWAT personnel carrier built for secure team transport and rapid deployment.

See the full range of POINTER® configurations.
Armored Chevrolet Suburban High Country - Armored to Alpine Level A9 (B6+), the Security Escort pairs the most widely deployed full-size SUV in United States government and law enforcement fleets with a reinforced body and an upgraded suspension and brake package sized for the armor weight. Run-flat wheels, a 360-degree LED lighting kit, siren and PA systems, and a communications fit-out equip it for motorcade and lead-vehicle duty. Alpine Armoring offers the armored Chevrolet Suburban at Alpine Level A4, A6, A9 and A12, and federal and agency buyers can purchase through Alpine Armoring’s GSA contract, 47QSMS26D0064.
“Departments do not buy a tactical truck from a brochure,” said Fred Khoroushi, president of Alpine Armoring. “They want to climb in, sit where their team will sit, and ask what happens when the vehicle takes a round. That is what a booth is for, and it is why we bring the vehicles instead of photographs.”
Alpine Armoring’s engineering and sales teams will staff booth 2553 for the full run of the exposition hall. Attendees can walk through each vehicle, compare protection levels against their own threat profile, and discuss build options, grant funding, and lead times on site. Departments planning a purchase can review the current armored law enforcement fleet and units available now before the show.
