police van
Cruiser with cage
A police van is a large enclosed vehicle used by law enforcement to transport prisoners, officers, or equipment.
In the US it may be called a paddy wagon, while in the UK the informal term is Black Maria.
Police vans typically have secure rear compartments with bench seating and reinforced doors, separating detained individuals from officers in front.
The suspects were loaded into a police van after the raid.
