Police vans, commonly known as paddy wagons, are utilized to transport prisoners or suspects. However, there are several synonyms for this term. Some of these commonly used alternates include "black marias," "meat wagons," "blues and twos," "heat wagons," and "Big Van Vaders." Police vans are designed to provide a secure and enclosed environment for the transportation of individuals who are suspected of committing a crime. They are equipped with advanced features, technology and safety measures to prevent escapes during transfer and provide protection to the police team and the public. These vehicles have been an essential part of law enforcement for several years and remain one of the most effective modes of prisoner transportation today.
