EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill ( AB) 481 into law, which went into effect on January 1, 2022, and added California Government Code Sections 7070 through 7075 relating to the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment by local law enforcement agencies. The bill identifies fifteen main categories of military equipment and stipulates the following:

1. A law enforcement agency shall obtain approval of a military equipment use policy via the adoption of an ordinance by its governing body ( i.e., City Council) prior to funding, acquiring, or using such equipment, as defined. The policy must be posted on the law enforcement agency’s website at least 30 days prior to the City Council meeting.

2. A law enforcement agency seeking to continue the use of any military equipment, as defined, and acquired prior to January 1, 2022, shall commence a governing body approval process no later than May 1, 2022.

3. If approved, the military equipment use policy and an annual military equipment report shall be published on the law enforcement agency’s website. The report shall include information relevant to the preceding calendar year and contain a summary of each type of military equipment used by the agency, a summary of complaints concerning the equipment, the results of any internal audit pertaining to violations of the military equipment use policy, the total annual cost of any military equipment and quantity possessed, and any intentions to acquire additional military equipment in the next year.

4. Within 30 days of releasing its annual military equipment report, a law enforcement agency shall hold at least one community engagement meeting to allow the public to ask questions and discuss the report.

AB 481 further allows the governing body to adopt an ordinance approving a military equipment use policy only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards as set forth in California Government Code Section 7071, subdivision (d). A fter approval, the ordinance is subject to an annual City Council review to determine whether, based on the annual military equipment report, the standards set forth in the bill have been met. The City Council may renew the authorizing ordinance, disapprov e authorization for particular equipment where standards have not been met, or require modifications to the military equipment use policy.

The Burbank Police Department (Department) is committed to transparency, public trust, community partnerships, and compliance with the law. As such, the Department has authored the following 2023 Annual Military Equipment Report in accordance with requirements set forth in AB 481.
2023 Military Equipment Report Page 4

INTRODUCTION

The Department maintains a wide variety of military equipment to assist in safely achieving the furtherance of its mission, “…to protect life and property, provide professional police services, and work in partnership with the community.” Although the Department has various pieces of military equipment in inventory, the mere possession of such equipment does not warrant its use in every situation. This essential equipment is deployed based on the situational necessity to effectively de-escalate intense situations or bring volatile conditions and critical incidents to a safe resolution.

The Department currently possesses eleven different types of items that fall under the military equipment classifications defined in AB 481. The availability of such instruments enables the Department to minimize risk to members of the community and officers during dynamic and unfolding high-risk incidents. This specialized equipment allows Department members to maintain a state of readiness through continuous training and equipment familiarity to fulfill their mission to protect life and property.

This Annual Military Equipment Report outlines a summary of military equipment usage guidelines, inventory, fiscal impact, and complaints received for 2023.
