    "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,” Ryan Austin, Stellantis law enforcement program manager, said in a press release. “The Jeep brand’s reputation of rugged refinement sets the stage to make it the standard-bearer for our law enforcement and VIP protection program for years to come.”

    Each purchase of the Jeep Wagoneer COV includes three years of Jeep Connect services, including remote start, door lock, and more, as well as 10 years of access to the Safety and Security Packages (including stolen vehicle assistance, recall alerts, performance packages access, and vehicle health reports).

    Worth noting, the Jeep Wagoneer received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Top Safety Pick in 2024 when other SUVs used often for law enforcement have fallen short in IIHS’s ratings.
