RECOMMENDATION:

DISCUSSION:

At its June 14, 2022 meeting, the Newport Beach City Council introduced and passed to second reading Ordinance No. 2022-15, which if adopted, would approve a Military Equipment Use Policy for the Police Department. The ordinance and associated Military Equipment Use Policy, including a complete inventory of all qualifying "military equipment" as specified in CGC §7070, et seq., would become effective July 29, 2022.

The Newport Beach Police Department owns several types of equipment, vehicles, firearms, and munitions that qualify as "military equipment" under Assembly Bill (AB) 481, codified as CGC §7070, et seq. AB 481 requires California law enforcement agencies to get approval from their governing body for a Military Equipment Use Policy, which includes a detailed inventory of all qualifying vehicles, equipment and munitions. 4-1

A Noise Flash Diversionary Devices (NFDD) is a device that creates a bright flash and loud sound to temporarily divert the attention of subjects in the immediate area. NFDD are used to distract and temporarily incapacitate dangerous suspects by overwhelming their senses of vision and hearing. The distraction allows officers to seize a moment of opportunity to take control of high -risk situations.

Purpose
To produce atmospheric over -pressure and brilliant white light and, as a result, can cause short-term (6 - 8 seconds)
physiological/psychological sensory deprivation to give officers a tactical advantage.

Authorized Use
Diversionary Devices shall only be used:
• By SWAT officers trained in their proper use.
• In hostage and barricaded subject situations.
• In high -risk warrant (search/arrest) services where there may be extreme hazards to officers.
• During other high -risk situations where their use would enhance officer safety.
• During training exercises.

Large diameter burning canister that discharges a high volume of smoke and chemical agent through multiple emission ports.

Specifically for outdoor use. Can be hand thrown or launched.

Discharge duration can reach up to 40 seconds. Chemical agent munitions, which are commonly referred to as "tear gas," are used by the Newport Beach Police Department as a non -lethal tool to disperse rioting suspects and on barricaded suspects. The Newport Beach Police Department uses chemical agents that are used by law enforcement across the United States: CS (2- Chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile) and OC (Oleoresin Capsicum).

Purpose
To limit the escalation of conflict where employment of lethal force is prohibited or undesirable. Situations for use of the less lethal weapon systems may include, but are not limited to:
• Self-destructive, dangerous and/or combative individuals. • Riot/crowd control and civil unrest incidents.
• Circumstances where a tactical advantage can be obtained. • Potentially vicious animals.
• Training exercises or approved demonstrations.
