LMT will begin construction of and delivery of 2,700 units of customized version of our SPM14 (STANDARD PATROL MODEL) this year. Established on January 1st 1956, The Public Security Directorate (PSD) was created as a vital institution used to strengthen security and stability and protect Jordanian citizens. 2019 to 2021 saw a merging of the Civil Defense and the Gendarmerie departments under the umbrella of the PSD as a unified Law Enforcement Agency in Jordan; this change was implemented as a way to guarantee professional security coordination, enhance the services provided to citizens, and positively influence the general budget in Jordan.
LMT Defense won the contract based on the best performance and value. Moreover, as LMT Defense is one of the major International suppliers to the Military and Law Enforcement agencies in Jordan, LMT participated in the tender for the Jordanian Public Security Directorate for the purpose of supplying 5.56 rifles in order to develop the capabilities of the various security services in Jordan and updating the quality of the weapons used through the purchase of LMT.
“Happy to rejuvenate our business with the PSD. We supported their initiatives back in 2015 and we are pleased to continue to build on that relationship going forward” – Zach Sisco International Sales Manager.
