LEHR Acquires Enforcement One, Premier Emergency Vehicle Upfitter in Florida

LEHR, the leading emergency vehicle upfitter in the United States, has announced its acquisition of Enforcement One, a prominent upfitting operation based in Florida. The deal, finalized on May 14, 2026, involves an undisclosed amount and represents LEHR's eighth add-on acquisition. This strategic move enhances LEHR's operational presence in Florida and the broader Southeast, responding to increasing customer demand in these regions.

Enforcement One, founded in 2011 and headquartered in the Tampa Bay area, has established itself as a trusted provider of emergency vehicle upfitting services for law enforcement and emergency response agencies. With three facilities and a workforce of 27 employees, the company has successfully completed over 500 vehicle upfits annually, earning a solid reputation for quality workmanship and customer service. The acquisition allows LEHR to capitalize on Enforcement One's established relationships and operational expertise, further solidifying its market position.

The strategic rationale behind this acquisition is rooted in the evolving needs of the emergency vehicle upfitting industry. As agencies increasingly require partners capable of delivering consistent, high-quality service across multiple jurisdictions, LEHR aims to leverage its expanded footprint to meet these demands effectively. The integration of Enforcement One into LEHR's operations is expected to enhance service delivery and operational efficiency, enabling the combined entity to better serve its growing customer base in the Southeast.

LEHR's CEO, Daniel Hamm, emphasized the cultural and operational alignment between the two companies, noting that Enforcement One embodies the values and commitment to quality that LEHR seeks in its partners. Aaron Watkins, co-founder of Enforcement One, expressed confidence that joining LEHR would provide greater opportunities for growth and operational capabilities than could be achieved independently. Watkins will continue to contribute to the business in a consulting role, while day-to-day operations will be overseen by current General Manager James "Al" Warrell.

The acquisition of Enforcement One reflects broader trends within the emergency vehicle upfitting sector, where consolidation is becoming increasingly common as companies seek to enhance their service offerings and geographic reach. As LEHR continues to expand its national footprint through strategic acquisitions, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for emergency vehicle upfitting services. This transaction not only strengthens LEHR's market presence but also underscores the importance of operational scale and quality service in meeting the needs of law enforcement and emergency response agencies across the country.
