For many decades Crown North America has been experts in upfitting specialty vehicles for a unique market. We have made significant positive changes in how we do business. Our attention is no longer divided in varied directions with different products and services. Rather, our team is committed solely to law enforcement upfitting expertise. Integrated with Kerr Industries, we are driven by a thoughtful focus on everything we do: exceptional turnaround, competitive cost-effective solutions and market-leading quality.
Integration Engineering
Crown employs proven engineering methodology to ensure we understand your equipment, its usage and your operational needs. We then design the complete installation around your needs keeping in mind the vehicle’s capabilities. Simply put, we bridge the gap between the aftermarket equipment manufacturers and Ford – we call it INTEGRATION ENGINEERING.
You don’t have to purchase the equipment from us, although we’d be happy to sell it to you if you want. You don’t have to have a fleet of hundreds of vehicles to use our services. You don’t even have to be in the market for a new vehicle. You only need to want better up-fitting. Whether that means improving the turnaround time to get the vehicle into service faster, or making sure you don’t do anything unsafe when integrating the aftermarket equipment, Crown North America can help.
Our qualified technicians upfitting your vehicles are EVT certified.
