Admans right, swat and armed response teams tend to lead towards military designed vehicles for their missions. Not only are they built with carrying load bearing soldiers in mind, resisting small arms fire, they have a certain psychological impact on suspects.
The only place you really see 'civilian' SWAT vans is in Europe nowadays, and even in the UK we are leaning more towards military style vehicles.

(A big consideration that prevents apc type vehicles being used by the UK police is actual the damage those vehicles cause to the roads, and the fact they are just too big)
So yes they do tend to have that juggernaut look.
