Jeep has launched a special version of its Wagoneer luxury SUV, aimed specifically at use by law enforcement and VIP protection agencies.
The new Wagoneer Command Operations Vehicle (COV) made its public debut in front of more than 200 Stellantis fleet customers at the M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan.
Agencies at local, state and federal level had requested the Wagoneer be adapted for law enforcement and protective detail. Many worked in cooperation with Jeep to design the Wagoneer COV.
Rapid response vehicle
The Wagoneer COV’s powertrain remains unaltered compared to the standard civilian model. However, this does mean a twin-turbocharged ‘Hurricane’ straight-six engine, which serves uo 420 horsepower and 468lb ft of torque.
This allows the Wagoneer COV to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 6.3 seconds. It can also haul trailers weighing up to 10,000 lb.
Conversion to COV specification includes the addition of Whelen strobe lights, a Whelen lightbar for the rear window, and a siren speaker hidden behind the front grille.
A custom wiring harness and Power Distribution Center allow the Wagoneer to be adapted for a variety of uses. There are bespoke weapon storage options, too.
‘The standard-bearer for law enforcement’
Opting for the Wagoneer COV does not mean going without life’s luxuries, though. Leather upholstery is standard, along with three-zone climate control.
“From Washington D.C. motorcades to high-profile logistic requirements in every state and county across America, the Jeep Wagoneer COV is set to become a new leader in secure VIP transportation, having already gained a high level of interest from government agencies since its introduction in January 2025,” said Ryan Austin, Stellantis law enforcement program manager.
“The Jeep brand’s reputation for rugged refinement sets the stage to make it the standard-bearer for our law enforcement and VIP protection program for years to come.”
Fleet customers in the United States can order the 2025 Wagoneer COV through Stellantis dealerships now. Details on Canadian market availability will be shared for the 2026 model year.
