The SWAT Van is a gamepass vehicle in Jailbreak that can be driven by anyone who owns the SWAT Gamepass and can be acquired at the Prison parking lot.
The SWAT Van was revamped on July 23, 2024 as part of the SWAT Toy Event.
Overview
The SWAT Van can seat a total of up to 8 players: the driver, one passenger next to the driver, three passengers in the middle row, 2 people in the back, and another player who can stand on the roof and use the Minigun, which requires the SWAT and/or BOSS Gamepass. The handling is also very good, and is great for pursuing Criminals. While slow compared to other cars, it can be used as a roadblock so enemy cars cannot pass. Pressing "G" will toggle the rear doors to open or close.
At first, only somebody with a keycard could drive it out of the prison, as it is the only place it spawns. But now, there is a ramp in the Prison, so players can drive off the ramp and use rocket fuel to get it out. However, this is still an issue for people that don't have much Rocket Fuel. Players can still spawn a SWAT Van with the Premium Garage gamepass or spawning one in a Garage.
In the 2023 Prison Update, the SWAT Van spawn point was moved from the Prison Garage to the Prison parking lot. This was due to the removal of the Prison Garage.
Performance
The SWAT Van is a decent vehicle. It features decent speed, launch, and acceleration. Other aspects are also decently good, with the handling being the best. This beast also features great off-roading and braking ability. As a result, the SWAT Van somewhat lives up to its 
425 price.
Overall, the SWAT Van is fairly decent and is a good vehicle for police to drive. However, the majority of the players play in the criminal team, which makes it fairly good as well as bad at the same time. As a result, it receives a mixed reception among the community.

|---|---|
Top speed
 |
Reverse Speed
 |
| The SWAT Van has a top speed of 167 MPH, but for some reason acceleration rapidly slows down after 157 MPH, but it's still good. It's comparable to the criminal counterpart, Celestial and Striker. | The reverse speed is easily comparable to many low-tier vehicles. It is quite slow but not overall the slowest, although it has average reverse speed at 52 MPH it's ahead of many vehicles, such as the Teslas and Classic. |
Launch
 |
Acceleration
|
| It launches very slowly. It can compete with many low-tier and some medium-tier vehicles. However, it can't compete with anything higher. The closest competitor is probably the SUV and Celestial. It reaches 32 MPH. | The acceleration is fairly decent. It still compares to many low-tier vehicles and some medium-tier vehicles. It can take a while to get to the top speed, mostly it takes a time of 15+ seconds. |
Handling
 |
Off-Roading
 |
| Even though it's a heavy vehicle, it has great handling but it has some cornering issues and stuck in tight spaces. Overall, it's very good at handling at all speeds. | The ground clearance is high but not the highest. It's very stable when driving on dunes and other rough terrains. However, due to its loose suspension, it tends to lose some speeds when climbing obstacles. The closest competitor is probably the SUV. |
| Braking
|
Durability
|
| The SWAT Van has good brakes but certainly not the best. The brakes are still very good, taking about two seconds for the vehicle to make a complete stop. It's only behind the Teslas and other high-tier vehicles. | The SWAT Van has 125 HP, which is above average. Comparable to Celestial, Monster Truck and Sentinel. Additionally, occupants get 20% damage reduction.
