Reflective Graphics for Security Vehicles

In sports, they say that the best defense is a good offense. In standard security and law enforcement, there is another saying, that the best prevention is good deterrence, and that the best deterrence is a good visible presence. The issue arises that in daylight security vehicles are easy to spot, and therefore they are a great deterrent, but at night, when deterrence is needed the most, it can often be difficult to see a security vehicle. That is of course unless the aforementioned vehicle is outfitted with retro-reflective markings.

Retroreflective graphics technology was first invented in the mid-1990s and was initially used principally by law enforcement and the military. The technology entails using a special polymer coating between the base layer of the printing material and the top layer

This coating is able to not only amplify low light and therefore make the graphics easier to see. It can also, in fact, reflect light back to its original source many times brighter than what hit it. This means that a vehicle that is equipped with reflective graphics can be seen clearly and brightly by as much as a mile away with only the light of a moderately powered lantern or a bright flashlight.

When a vehicle’s headlights or other bright lights are involved the equipped vehicle can be seen from as far away as two miles in many instances. The impact and effectiveness of the technology led to it quickly being adopted by safety equipment manufacturers as well as security companies. It has even found its way into fashion, architecture, and interior design as well.

Adding reflective graphics to your fleet of security vehicles can get them noticed in the areas that you patrol and therefore help you to better assert your authority. The help to increase the visible presence of your vehicles and thereby amplify the deterrence capability that you have. This, in turn, helps you to better protect your customer’s personas and property day and night.

Whether you have one vehicle to wrap or you are trying to match the graphics on many security vehicles, you want to partner with a company that has experience with what can be a complicated printing and installation process. With reflective graphics, you can give all of your vehicles a common but unique identity while making them safer for your officers and many times more visible to the public.

Team Acme, located in Henderson, NV, just to the north of Las Vegas, has extensive experience wrapping all types of vehicles, and in doing projects which include the use of retroreflective graphics. We take great pride in our work, especially the work that we have done on law enforcement and security vehicles for various agencies around the Las Vegas metropolitan and greater Clark County area.

For these jobs, we use highly reflective vinyl on the vehicle to give additional visibility at night. We also use brighter and easier to see at night colors like yellow, orange or red, or colors like electric blue, neon pink and charged green. These colors will really grab the attention of drivers or others passing your vehicle.

Reflective vinyl is particularly useful on vehicles that will be parked for a time at night. These vehicles can include tow trucks, security patrol cars, emergency response vehicles, and even construction or utility/service vehicles that need to be seen from a distance in order to prevent potential accidents.
