PREFACE
The Fairfield Police Department retains and utilizes a wide variety of equipment which falls under the definitions outlined in Government Code Section 7070. This equipment is used to assist the Fairfield Police Department in its ultimate mission, which is the preservation of life.
The Fairfield Police Department recognizes critical incidents are unpredictable and dynamic in nature. The retention of this equipment alone also does not warrant its use for every incident.
The equipment listed in this report assists with the safe and efficient resolution of these incidents.
Policy and procedure dictate when the equipment may be deployed in the field, how it may be used, and which members are authorized to use it. However not all situations can be predicted.
The need for the incident commander, on-scene supervisor, or officers to deploy and utilize the equipment in a manner not outlined within policy or procedure may be necessary for the preservation of life in a rapidly evolving incident.
Further, incident commanders, supervisors, and officers can authorize use of equipment for each specific incident based on the totality of the circumstances.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved AB-481 requiring law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of the applicable governing body, by adoption of a military equipment use policy. The Department is required to seek City Council approval of their military equipment use procedure by ordinance at a regular open meeting prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined.
The bill allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards. The ordinance is subject to annual City Council review to determine whether, based on an annual military equipment report, the standards set forth in the approving ordinance have been met. The City Council may renew the authorizing ordinance, disapprove authorization for particular military equipment where standards have not been met, or require modifications to the military equipment use procedure to address any non- compliance with standards.
Finally, the bill requires publication of the military equipment use procedure and the annual military equipment report on the Department’s website. The military equipment use procedure must be posted on the website at least 30 days prior to the Council meeting.
Military equipment use was recorded by the Fairfield Police Department for this report from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, contemporaneous and in compliance with the timelines associated with Government Code Section 7072 and corresponding City Ordinance Chapter 31.

EXPLOSIVE BREACHING EQUIPMENT
Explosive Breaching Equipment: During crisis situations, it may become necessary for a SWAT team to facilitate an entry into a target location. It is critical the point of entry is breached quickly and as safely as possible. A quick and effective breach is one key to a successful tactical mission.
In some instances, an explosive breach may be required to provide an added degree of safety and tactical advantage to accomplish a mission. Specialized breaching equipment consisting of explosive materials are possessed by the department. Explosive breaching equipment will only be used exclusively by the SWAT Team’s dedicated breaching personnel.
Capability: Explosive breaching, the use of explosive materials to affect a breach, can be an effective option in SWAT tactics. An explosive breach should be viewed as a cutting tool. An effective breach is a design where the least amount of explosive material is used and still accomplishes its goal. An effective explosive breach can defeat fortified doors and walls.
Effective breaching techniques allow tactical officers immediate entry with minimal risk to victims, officers, and suspects.
Usage: An explosive breach should only be utilized after taking into consideration the overall mission, officer and citizen safety, the overall construction of the structure, the presence of unstable chemicals, explosives or incendiary materials, and whether other means of mechanical breaching would be effective and safe to use. The option to use an explosive breach shall be at the discretion of the SWAT Commanding Officer with the approval of the Incident Commander.
Training Requirements: Only SWAT Officers that are certified explosive breachers are authorized to utilize explosive breaches. SWAT Explosive Breachers must successfully complete a POST certified SWAT school and must attend a certified Explosive Breaching Course.

In some instances, a breach initiated by a breaching shotgun loaded with specialized breaching rounds may be required to provide an added degree of safety and tactical advantage to accomplish a mission. Specialized breaching rounds, also referred to as “Royal Arms Black Caps” rounds, are frangible and are designed to break into a powder form upon impact with a solid object (i.e., dead bolt lock, door frame, etc.) The Department possesses a limited inventory of breaching shotguns and breaching shotgun ammunition.
Breaching shotguns are to be used exclusively by trained members of the SWAT Team.
Capability: Shotgun breaching, the use of a breaching shotgun to affect a breach, can be an effective option in SWAT tactics.

Effective breaching techniques allow tactical officers immediate entry with minimal risk to victims, officers, and suspects.
Usage: Breaching shotguns are to be exclusively used by the SWAT Team. Breaching shotguns are used to breach doors expeditiously and can be used in response to barricaded suspects, hostage rescue incidents, and active shooters. Breaching shotguns are considered firearms and can be utilized as such when operated in accordance with Lexipol Policy 301.
