Greenbelt Maryland (Prince Georges County) Police Rescue vehicle. I don't have a clue what it is as I am not up to speed on these beasts but I am sure someone here can fill in the details.

That's a Cadillac Gage V100 or V150 Commando, originally built for the Army MPs and Air Force Security Police in the Vietnam era. A lot of PDs had them at one time and some (like Greenbelt) still do. Sort of the "first wave" of military surplus armored vehicles that were widely distributed to law enforcement after the military phased them out. The "second wave" was the Peacekeeper that proliferated all over the country, now being replace in many cases by the Lenco series.
