Over the years since, our company has grown to become a powerhouse with 38 locations in 13 states.

Grown to a team of over 400
Over two decades as we’ve grown to a team of over 400, 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 $50 million. When supply chain challenges derail other suppliers, your Dana Safety Supply Representative can guide you to our available inventory. Those stocking levels have allowed us to build 21,000 vehicles annually, and growing!
Built from strong roots
Dana Safety Supply is a subsidiary of Duval Motor Company and the Scott McRae Group, (SMAG), a 106-year-old family company that has been in continuous operation and under the same ownership since 1916. We are proud to serve our country’s public safety professionals—and you can count on us to help you with what you need to do your job better.
