A military police vehicle is any vehicle used by military police (MPs).
United States
When forward deployed, United States military police units customarily employ HMMWVs or internal security vehicles called the M1117 Armored Security Vehicle. However, on larger installations, MPs assigned to on-post law enforcement duties may use military or civilian 4x4 vehicles. When operating at installations in the U.S., military police typically employ patrol cars similar to local police departments. Special agents of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command or other military special investigation branches, may employ unmarked civilian vehicles in the course of their duties within the United States. These would often be the detective's own private car. In combat zones, these agents employ the same tactical vehicles as regular military police units.
United Kingdom
When deployed in the field members of the Army's Royal Military Police, RAF Police and Royal Navy Police, will use Landrovers with blue lights, sirens, radios and "MILITARY POLICE" signs fitted. When in garrison/on-shore policing they use typical civilian police patrol cars, but decked out with appropriate RMP, RAFP or RNP markings. The vehicles are brightly coloured, have blue flashing lights and sirens and other typical police vehicle equipment. In the United Kingdom these tend to be Vauxhall Vectras, Corsas and Astras, Skoda Superbs, Ford Fiestas and a few Vauxhall Vivaro vans and Honda motorbikes. They may also utilise unmarked vehicles from time to time. In Germany military police will use German-type police vehicles with blue flashing lights and sirns, but with clear wording to establish they are British Forces police. In Cyprus, the Tri Service Police Unit will use local police vehicles, but again with British Forces police markings.
