This is one of the NYPD Counter-Terrorism Response Units known as either a Critical Response Vehicle (CRV) or a Hercules Team. The first 3 clips are from Obama's motorcades in NYC in May 2011 where this van was first seen. It has since been seen all around the city. It appears to be on patrol escorted by police vehicles front and back plus two Harley Davidson Police Road King motorcycles.

The sprinter van probably needs an escort because the lights are so poor! The rear hideaways and front headlight strobes are ok but the rest look fairly useless. Might as well have it fully marked up with properly lights as it's quite obvious it's some kind of agency vehicle
