5. Munitions Containing Tear Gas (Category 12)
a. Description, and Capabilities
Various Quantities of Chemical agent munitions, which are commonly referred to as “tear gas,” are used by the Alameda Police Department as a non-lethal tool to disperse rioting suspects and on barricaded individuals. The Alameda Police Department uses two chemical agents which are used by law enforcement across the United States: CS (2 Chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile) and OC (Oleoresin Capsicum).
EXHIBIT 1 Page 8 of 13
CS is an irritating agent and lachrymator (irritates the eyes and causes tears to flow). CS has been medically tested in the UK and US, specifically by the U.S. Army. There are no known allergic reactions to CS. OC was de- regulated in California in 1996, is endorsed by the FBI, and is available to civilians to legally possess (2.5 oz. or less). OC is an inflammatory agent which causes involuntary closure of eyes (open in 2-5 minutes) and respiratory inflammation (subsides in approximately 2 minutes).
I. CS grenades emitting CS smoke for 20 to 40 seconds through gas ports located on top of the devices.
II. OC vapor aerosol grenades deliver a high concentration of OC in a powerful mist. The grenade is designed for indoor use and in confined areas.
III. OC/CS vapor aerosol grenades which deliver a high concentration combination of OC and CS in a powerful mist. The grenade is designed for indoor use in confined areas.

V. 40mm muzzle blast CS powder dispersion rounds. This munition incorporates an aluminum shell and propels OC powder at short ranges (no more than 30 feet).
VI. 40mm Liquid CS barricade -penetrating projectiles. This munition incorporates a plastic shell and is launched from a 40mm launcher.
The projectile contains liquid CS encapsulated in the frangible round.
The projectile is designed to penetrate windows, hollow core interior doors, and thin plywood. Once fragmented, the projectile emanates the liquid CS.
VII. 40mm powder CS barricade-penetrating projectiles. This munition incorporates a plastic shell and is launched from a 40mm launcher.
The projectile contains powder CS encapsulated in the frangible round. The projectile is designed to penetrate windows, hollow core interior doors, and thin plywood. Once fragmented, the projectile emanates the powdered CS.
VIII. 40mm liquid OC barricade- penetrating projectiles. This munition incorporates a plastic shell and is launched from a 40mm launcher.
The projectile contains liquid OC encapsulated in a frangible round.
The projectile is designed to penetrate windows, hollow core interior doors, and thin plywood. Once fragmented, the projectile emanates the liquid OC.
IX. 40mm powder OC barricade-penetrating projectiles. This munition incorporates a plastic shell and is launched from a 40 MM launcher.
The projectile contains powder OC encapsulated in the frangible round. The projectile is designed to penetrate windows, hollow core interior doors, and thin plywood. Once fragmented, the projectile emanates the liquid OC.
EXHIBIT 1 Page 9 of 13

Sworn members utilizing specialized chemical agents must be trained in their use by POST certified less lethal and chemical agent instructors.
6. Kinetic Energy Weapons and Munitions (Category 14)
a. Description, and Capabilities
I. Fabrique Nationale de Herstal (FNH) 303 Launchers that use high-pressure air to deliver kinetic projectiles (similar to a paintball delivery system) with paint marking ability. The system is capable of launching projectiles at a subject up to 60’. It is a less-lethal option to offer law enforcement officers to deliver kinetic energy impacts to subjects in violent encounters. It is also a de-escalation tool used to avoid further injuries or lethal options.
II. (FNH) Kinetic impact rounds used in the FNH launcher are .68 caliber, 8.5 gram, projectiles with non -toxic bismuth in the plastic forward compartment, followed by an indelible paint plastic compartment behind it. The launcher uses compressed air to propel the projectiles. The primary benefits are to provide distance impact less-lethal option and as an alternative to close contact force.
Further the munitions provides a lesser force option other than lethal force when appropriate. The munition launcher s ends the projectile that creates trauma, distraction, and pain, followed by marking of specific individuals for identification and later arrest. The projectiles have a velocity of 280-350 FPS.
III. Remington 870 less-lethal shotgun is used to deploy the less lethal 12-gauge beanbag round up to a distance of 75 feet. The range of the weapon system helps to maintain space between officers and a suspect reducing the immediacy of the threat which is a principle of De-escalation. These weapons systems are distinguishable by a yellow stock and fore grip. The weapon serves as a less-lethal distance impact weapon causing, pain, distraction, and trauma to violent offenders.
IV. 12-gauge ballistic fiber bag filled with 40 grams of number 9 lead shot, commonly referred to as a beanbag round. This projectile travels at a velocity of 270-290 feet per second (FPS).
V. Defense Technology, 40mm single shot launchers. The 40mm single shot launcher will fire standard 40mm less -lethal impact ammunition, up to 4.8 inches in cartridge length. The 40mm single launcher is not a firearm, but a less-lethal launching system that uses smokeless powder to deliver 40mm projectiles from a safe distance. The less -lethal launcher is capable of launching 40mm munitions at a subject up to 40 yards. The less -lethal launcher is a single launcher, which allows officers to assess after every spent munition.
VI. Defense Technology, 40mm multi -shot launcher. This four-shot launcher is low-profile and lightweight, providing multi-shot capability in a shoulder fire configuration. It contains spring-loaded cylinders that auto-rotate to allow for rapid successive shots without the need to reload. It will discharge many of the 40mm projectiles outlined above.
VII. 40mm munition is a direct impact s pin stabilized sponge munition. The sponge munition is used as a Less- Lethal weapon designed to de-escalate a EXHIBIT 1 Page 11 of 13
potentially violent encounter.
b. Purpose
Kinetic projectiles limit the escalation of conflict where employment of lethal force is prohibited, unreasonable, and undesirable. These weapons are proven to reduce the potential for violent confrontations. Kinetic energy projectiles, when used properly, are less likely to result in death or serious physical injury and can be used in an attempt to de-escalate a potentially deadly situation.
c. Authorized Use
Situations for use of the less lethal weapon systems may include, but are not limited to:
• The suspect is armed with a weapon and the tactical circumstances allow for the safe application of approved munitions.
• The suspect has made credible threats to harm themselves or others. • The suspect is engaged in riotous behavior or is throwing rocks, bottles or other dangerous projectiles at people and/or officers.
• There is probable cause to believe that the suspect has already committed a crime of violence and is refusing to comply with lawful orders.
d. Expected Lifespan
I. FNH Launcher, no defined expiration, but until it is no longer serviceable II. FNH munitions, five years
III. Remington 870, no defined expiration, but until it is no longer serviceable IV. Ballistic Fiber Bag Munition, five years
V. 40mm Defense Technology single shot launcher, no defined expiration, but until it is no longer serviceable
VI. 40mm Defense Technology multi-shot launcher, no defined expiration, but until it is no longer serviceable
VII. 40mm sponge munition, five years
e. Training
Sworn members must be trained in less-lethal kinetic munitions by POST certified instructors. Proficiency training shall be monitored and documented by a certified, control-device weapons or tactics instructor bi- annually. If an officer cannot demonstrate proficiency with a control device or knowledge of this agency’s Use of Force Policy after remedial training, the officer will be restricted from carrying the control device
f. Fiscal Impact
