Introduction
Governor Newsom signed

into law in September of 2021. This new law defined
"
Military Equipment
"
and restricted its use by law enforcement age
ncies in the State of
California under Government Code Sections §7070
-
7075.
The Napa Police Department (NPD) presented a draft
“
Police Equipment Use Policy
”
(NPD
Department General Order 705), and an item inventory to City Council on June 21
,
2022,
as Council Item #92
-
2022 for the first reading. The Napa City Council adopted Ordinance #02022
-

“

”
on
July 19
, 2022.
D
epartment General Order 705 was updated
on
July 10
, 2023
.
During 2022,
certain “
military equipment
”
was re
-
classified by State and Federal entities.
As a result of those re
-
classifications, the quantity of Item 10 was updated
,
and Item 15 was
added to the
list. No new items were purchased in 2022.
This report has been authored to comply with Government Code Section § 7072(a), which requires an annual report to be submitted to the (City Council) and the p
ublic.
Since the word
"
use
"
is broad, we applied the following considerations for
"
uses
"
to be
included in this report
:
i
f an item was expended
/launched
, brought to a location
,
utilized
, or
displayed
in a manner that resulted in cooperation
/lawful detention.
Since this order went into effect mid

year, some statistics
may be incomplete
.

Refer to the Military Equipment Report attached to this document .
_______________________________________________________________________
Section 6
–
If the law enforcement agency intends to
acquire additional
military equipment in the next year, the quantity sought for each type of military equipment
While preparing this report and reviewing historical purchasing practices, it was recognized that the Napa Police Department often ordered “mil
itary equipment” in quantities that would
sustain operations and training for up to five years. This purchasing practice often allowed us to take advantage of volume pricing while minimizing budget impacts due to predictable replacement schedules. It also
minimized shipping costs associated with the purchases
while insulating
the agency
from supply
-
chain issues or high demands due to unplanned
events, i.e., COVID
-
19 or the nationwide protests in May/June of 2020.
After further analysis, we determined it wa
s prudent to continue to order “military equipment”
using this model, and we will request permission to adjust our purchasing practices under this policy to reflect peak quantities distributed over multiple years
instead of trying to
maintain a year
-
to
-
yea
r inventory.
The Napa Police Department will request permission to purchase up to ninety -
six Combined
Tactical System (CTS) 4557 40mm sponge rounds and ninety -
six Combined Tactical
System (CTS) 4557HV 40mm
high
-
velocity
sponge rounds in a five

in lieu of
the quantities previously specified for Item 3A of this report.

The Robotex Avatar was not
functioning during 2022, and
after evaluating repair options, it was determined
that
the most

Requested Item
-
Autel small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS)
Description:
The Autel EVO series of small unmanned aerial systems are drones that can be
remotely
controlled or fly autonomously using software
-
controlled flight plans in its embedded
systems th
at work in
-
conjunction with onboard sensors and a global positioning system (GPS). UAVs have become an industry
-
standard in law enforcement.
Purpose & Use:
The use of drones by law enforcement teams such as SWAT, CNT, Accident Reconstruction, and Patrol
teams has shown to be
highly
beneficial. With the future and
our unique mission in mind, drone usage in various environments is essential and has already proven to enhance officer safety as well as mission capabilities. A variance in drone aircraft is ess
ential
because all missions produce
unique challenges and
parameters. Different drones provide varying capabilities and the integration of drone usage with special teams such as SWAT and CNT have shown the importance of having reliable and effective drones
for officer safety and successful completion of intense, rapidly evolving critical incidents.
Specifically, drone usage with Accident Reconstruction will show an immediate advantage in terms of man hours, scene documentation and point of view. The abili ty to
quickly document a scene from an aerial platform which may then be easily input into software ideal for accident reconstruction
,
will save countless hours of road closures and
overtime costs. The drones additionally provide the advantage of video fro m the vehicle’s
point of view as well as easily navigable videos and photos of almost any portion of the collision scene. The drones would be stored within the traffic unit.

2 The
Military Equipment Report e
quipment inventory sheets
in
this document were compiled near
the
year
-
end
of
202
2 .
It should be noted that Item 15 was added to the list
because of
the re
-
classification of
certain
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.
Costs associated with the following items repre
sent the best 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
.
Due to the unpredictable na
ture of the 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.
"
Quantity
"
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.
Additionally, ther
e 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 included 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 equipme
nt, the Police Department deems
all
of
th
ese
items
as
“
law enforcement equipment.
”
We welcome our community members to ask questions and
discuss
during this process.
