Police van

A police van is a big, boxy vehicle that the police use to transport people and things. It's kind of like a big, metal box with wheels. The police van has a lot of seats inside where people can sit and a lot of room in the back where the police can put things.

Sometimes, the police use the van to arrest people who have broken the law. The officers will put the person in the back of the van and then drive them to the police station. Other times, the police use the van to transport things that they need for their work, like extra uniforms or equipment.

The police van is usually painted white with some blue and black stripes, and the word "police" is written on the sides. When you see a police van driving down the road, you know that the police are working hard to keep our community safe!
