Serving First Responders Since 1959
For more than 60 years, Central Equipment has been dedicated to supporting the law enforcement, fire, EMS, and municipal professionals who serve our communities. Public safety agencies across New England rely on Central Equipment for dependable products, responsive service, and trusted guidance.
Based in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, Central Equipment is more than a public safety supplier. We are a procurement partner with long-standing manufacturer and supplier relationships across a wide range of mission-critical categories. Our team helps agencies access trusted equipment, compare options, navigate state contract purchasing, and source specialized products that may not be easy to find through a single manufacturer or catalog.
From body armor, protective equipment, AEDs, trauma supplies, forensics, traffic safety, training tools, communications, and specialty public safety equipment, Central Equipment connects agencies with practical solutions from a trusted network of manufacturers.
Our role is simple: make it easier for departments to identify, source, and purchase the right equipment through a clear, reliable process built around the agency's needs.
