Non-military armoured vehicle

A common example of a non-military armoured vehicle is a SWAT vehicle, such as these vehicles operated by the Los Angeles Police Department.

Non-military armoured vehicles (or paramilitary armoured vehicles if used by a paramilitary) are armoured vehicles used outside professional armed forces. While primarily invented and used for defense/internal conflicts from an equally well armed organized force, armour technology has found a number of other uses outside of this military context.
