police escort
Uniformed vehicle accompaniment
A police escort is one or more officers accompanying a person or vehicle, either for protection or custody.
Dignitaries and funeral processions receive police escorts to clear traffic and ensure safe passage: The motorcade had a full police escort.
Suspects being transferred between facilities also travel under police escort, though the purpose shifts from protection to supervision.
