About Us

Our company was formed in 1990 and later incorporated in 1996 by Jim Hess Sr. after he retired from a twenty year career in law enforcement. Jim was also a Whelen factory representative for twelve years in the rocky mountain region. We have now evolved into one of Whelen's largest master distributors in the western United States with over 30 years combined experience in public safety vehicle equipment.

We at VLS feel we can offer our clients better service by concentrating our efforts into a few specialized areas. As you have probably seen on our site, we have limited our business to only a few vendors. By doing this we ensure that most of the time when our clients call, we have what they need. We can also answer just about any question whether it is product related or technical.

Locally, our service has been the key to our success. We provide our clients first class installation and repair services. By shopping with us you will find we have taken the same service oriented approach with our clients on the web. Should you have any questions or comments, please refer to our contact information above.
