Law enforcement escort

Law enforcement escort

A law enforcement escort, also known as a police escort, is a feature offered by most law enforcement agencies to assist in transporting VIPs or other important individuals. This is done by means of assigning police vehicles, primarily cars or motorcycles, to precede, surround, and/or follow a vehicle, or group of vehicles.

An escort can range widely in size, beginning with a single vehicle. They almost always assist with motorcades for the transportation of public officials, such as the president of the United States, or can be hired by celebrities, professional athletes, or for funerals.
