What We Do

FCI is a family owned business that was started by Donald Bateman in 1971. We began working with police cars in 1976 as a leasing company. As Don’s six sons got older, they started taking over more and more of the work that had previously been farmed out to other companies.

By 1985, we had a full shop set up to outfit the cars we leased to various municipalities. In addition, we started rebuilding the lease returns and selling or leasing them to smaller departments.

In 1990, Alan Bateman got more involved with the business and branched out to doing equipment installations for departments that bought their own cars.

In 1993, Mike Bateman started working with Alan. In 2003, we built our new shop in North Bend.

Although we are still a small business with just seven employees, we build an average of 200 police cars per year. The bulk of our business is in the state of Washington, but we also do work for departments in Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska

Our Philosophy

Our goal is to make your car purchase, lease or equipment install as painless as possible. You can tell us what you want on your car or we will tell you what is the latest and greatest and make recommendations on what might work best for you. We will work with you so that you end up with a car and equipment that fit your needs and budget. We don’t push you to buy certain brands or certain pieces of equipment. We don’t care what you want installed. We’re just happy to put it on for you.
