## Users

Never an armed military vehicle,[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] the Tactica is also suited for civilian use, namely by police forces. Ideally suited as an armoured personnel carrier the first Tacticas were based on Stonefield chassis and latterly by Mol chassis designed in-house at Glover Webb Limited of Hamble, [Hampshire, UK](/source/Hampshire%2C_UK). Variants included ambulances, APCs, water cannons, crowd control, perimeter control, and IEDD.

Variants are in service with the following nations:
