Streicher's is a police equipment and supply company founded in 1953 in West Allis, Wisconsin. It was then known as Don's Gun Shop. The name later changed to Don Streicher Guns, Inc. In 1983 the headquarters moved to Plymouth, Minnesota with the opening of a new showroom, and became known as Streicher's Police Equipment, or simply Streicher's.
Streicher's' main showroom and corporate headquarters have remained in Plymouth since 1983. The original showroom in Milwaukee, Wisconsin still operates. In 2012, Streicher's purchased a warehouse in Corcoran, Minnesota. The warehouse is their primary distribution center.
Streicher's caters to law enforcement personnel, security officers, and other public safety personnel, including fire and rescue workers, EMT, military and federal agents. It sells firearms, light bars, uniforms, and standard gear, such as handcuffs and flashlights.
In July 2008 Streicher's acquired Arrington's Police Distributors and its two locations in Greensboro and Charlotte, North Carolina. These locations have since closed down. It has also expanded its services to the Internet.
