Th
e Military Equipment Report equipment inventory sheets in this document were compiled near the year-end of 2022. It should be noted that Item 15 was added to the list because of the re- classification of military equipment in 2022.
With respect to costs, funding, annual upkeep expenses, and estimated effective lifespan, every effort has been made to be as accurate as possible while at the same time acknowledging that many factors directly affecting those values are unpredictable.
C
osts associated with the following items represent the b est estimates for preparing this document. Many of these items are not purchased from manufacturers but from dealers, who adjust costs according to market factors beyond the predictive abilities or control of Napa PD.
D
ue to the unpredictable nature of th e law enforcement profession, many of the item estimated upkeep costs and effective lifespans are best estimates and may vary greatly on a year -to-year basis due to the availability of training, type of operational incidents, or other factors.
"Quan
tity" refers to the quantity needed "on hand" over a calendar year to meet all reasonably - anticipated operational and training needs. Some items may be carried over in inventory year to year, depending on operational/training tempo.
A
dditionally, there are costs for non-military equipment that are intrinsically tied to the costs for the following items. For example, slings, carrying cases, magazines, sighting systems, flashlights, cleaning supplies, batteries , and other non -military reportable items are not incl uded in this report's cost estimations, unit allocation, or upkeep portions.
It should also be noted that the legislature has designated these items as "military equipment." While the military may use some of the same equipment, the Police Department deem s all of these items as “law enforcement equipment.”
We welcome our community members to ask questions and discuss during this process.
