Military police vehicle

German military police car Mercedes-Benz Vito

A military police vehicle is any vehicle used by military police (MPs).

United States

When forward deployed, United States military police units customarily employ HMMWVs or internal security vehicles called the M1117 Armored Security Vehicle. However, on larger installations, MPs assigned to on-post law enforcement duties may use military or civilian 4x4 vehicles. When operating at installations in the U.S., military police typically employ patrol cars similar to local police departments. Special agents of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command or other military special investigation branches, may employ unmarked civilian vehicles in the course of their duties within the United States. These would often be the detective's own private car. In combat zones, these agents employ the same tactical vehicles as regular military police units.

United Kingdom

When in the field, members of the British Army's Royal Military Police, Royal Air Force Police, and Royal Navy Police use Land Rovers with typical police equipment and signs reading "MILITARY POLICE". When in garrison or on-shore, they use regular civilian-type patrol cars, but with appropriate RMP, RAFP or RNP markings. In the United Kingdom these tend to be Vauxhall Vectras, Corsas and Astras, Škoda Superbs, Ford Fiestas, Vauxhall Vivaro vans, and Honda motorbikes.[1] Special units such as the Special Investigation Branch may utilize unmarked patrol cars from time to time.
