A police escort, also known as a law enforcement 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 Heads of State or Government, or can be hired by celebrities, professional athletes, or for funerals.[1]
