The SWAT Van is a law enforcement vehicle appearing in Manhunt and cut from Manhunt 2.
Design
The truck is found in several areas of Carcer City, bearing a livery of the Carcer City Police Department. In certain appearances, the SWAT Van carry items to be looted. They can be collected from its interior by opening its rear doors with a Crowbar.
The vehicle is a modified version of the Milk Van designed by Rockstar North prop artist Campbell-John Dick, as evidenced by the its body texture (CJ_VAN2), and leftovers of the original Milk Van body texture (CJ_VAN1) on the new one. The model also uses certain assets from VCPD Police vehicle from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for its body texture, identified by the "policemiami86" name on their texture file names.

Manhunt
The model for the SWAT Van is CJ_SWATVAN(NEW), meaning it was updated at some point in development. The previous vehicle taking the role as the SWAT Van was the Securicar-based Armored Truck currently used as the Cerberus vehicle. This is evidenced by its model file name Gen_Swat and its faded police livery.
The SWAT Van is not present in the pre-released Prototype Version 0.69. Instead, the Armored Truck is found at its original locations.
Manhunt 2
During the Bloodhounds trap scene in Most Wanted, the three vehicles with animation rigs - two Bloodhound Patriots and a Militia Van - are internally named CJ_POLICE_RIGGED, CJ_POLICE_RIGGED_B and CJ_SWATVAN_RIGGED, confirming they were originally intended as pre-existing police vehicles returning from Manhunt, including the SWAT Van, which was replaced by the Militia Van in this specific scene.
