Introduction
Governor Newsom signed AB481 into law in September of 2021. This law defined "Military Equipment" and restricted its use by law enforcement agencies in the State of California under Government Code Sections §7070-7075.
Starting in 2022, t he Napa Police Department (NPD) has presented policies and equipment inventories annually to the City Council and the co mmunity. The Napa City Council has also adopted military equipment use ordinances annually.
While continuing to refine our reporting processes to comply with this law, we have identified some items that need to be reclassified, expanded, added, or eliminated. These changes are intended to comply with Government Code § 7070 (c). Item 7 – “Armor Piercing Ammunition” was renamed “Specialized Ammunition” and will include additional ammunition types. Item 16 – “Specialized Firearms,” was added for certain weapons as described later in this report. Item 17 – Command and Control Vehicle w as added to include the City’s mobile co mmand trailer that NPD may use depending on the type of event or incident. Item 18 – sUAS was added to reflect the acquisi tion of sUAS’s authorized in last year's report.
The “Military Equipment” policy has been renumbered as Department General Order §706 to align with broader policy updates. It can be found here.1 Since the word "use" is broad, we applied the following considerations for "uses" to be included in this report: if an item was expended/launched, brought to a location, utilized, or displayed in a manner that resulted in cooperation/lawful detention, or arrest.
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 public. ______________________________________________________________________

Requested Items - small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS)
Description:
The Autel EVO series and DJI small unmanned aerial systems are drones that can be remotely controlled or fly autonomously using software-controlled flight plans in their embedded systems that 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 essential because all missions produce unique challenges and parameters. Different drones provide varying capabilities and the integration of drone usage with spe cial 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.

Military Equipment Report
The Military Equipment Report equipment inventory sheets in this document were compiled near the year-end of 2023.
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 represent 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 nature of the law enforcement profession, many of the item s’ 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. Depending on operational/training tempo, some items may be carried over in inventory year to year.
Additionally, the costs of non-military equipment are intrinsically tied to the costs o f 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 equipment, the Police Department deems all of these items as “law enforcement equipment.”
We welcome our community members to ask questions and discuss during this process.
