EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW:
The term “military equipment,” as used in the legislation, does not necessarily indicate equipment used by the military. Items deemed to be “military equipment,” include, but are not limited to equipment such as unmanned vehicles, command and control vehicles, armored vehicles, less lethal shotguns, and noise flash diversionary devices. These types of equipment, as well as others considered “military equipment” under AB No. 481, are commonly used, and employed by law enforcement agencies across the country to enhance community members' and officers' safety.
It is the policy of the Hayward Police Department that members of the department comply with the provisions of Government Code § 7071 with respect to qualifying "military equipment." "Military equipment" shall be used by members of the Department who have completed applicable training, including training required by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST). "Military equipment," which has been approved for use by the governing body, shall be used in accordance with all other applicable department policies and laws. These policies and laws include, but are not limited to:
Hayward Police Department Policy 300 (Use of Force)
Hayward Police Department Policy 302 (Control Devices and Techniques) California Assembly Bill No. 481
California Penal Code Section 13652 (Use of Kinetic Energy Projectiles and Chemical Agents) The Hayward Police Department acknowledges the historical use of certain police equipment to intimidate and oppress certain communities and groups more than others, including those that are defined by a common race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, income level, sexual orientation, or political perspective. As such, this policy expressly prohibits the use of "military equipment" on individuals or groups solely based on actual or perceived characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, economic status, age, cultural group, or disability.

BACKGROUND - ASSEMBLY BILL 481:
On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed a series of eight (8) pieces of policing reform legislation aimed at increasing transparency around policing. AB No. 481, authored by Assembly Member David Chiu (D-San Francisco), was one of those pieces of legislation. AB No. 481, which became effective on January 1, 2022, was created to address transparency issues in the funding, acquisition, and use of law enforcement equipment that lawmakers have designated as "military equipment."
AB No. 481, codified in Government Code section(s) 7070 through 7075, requires law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of the applicable governing body (City Council), by adoption of a written Military Equipment Use Policy, via ordinance, at a public hearing, before law enforcement agencies may take certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined by the legislature.
Once approval is granted, AB No. 481 requires law enforcement agencies to submit an annual Military Equipment Use Report to the City Council, summarizing the use of each type of equipment, complaints received, internal audits and information about violations of the Military Equipment Use Policy, the cost of military equipment, and other similar information. This annual Military Use Report must be posted to the law enforcement agency’s website and the law enforcement agency must hold at least one community engagement meeting for the general public to discuss the Report. On an annual basis, the City Council must review the Military Use Policy and ordinance as well as the Military Equipment Use Report and vote on whether to renew the ordinance.
