FROM: Dave Allenbach, Transportation Analyst
1. SUBJECT
Request for permit parking on the south side of Collins Avenue from Hart Street to 2842 Collins Avenue.
2. SUMMARY
A request was made to implement permit parking on the aforementioned street. The request meets the requirements of the City’s Neighborhood Permit Parking Program, and received adequate support from affected residents.
3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the request; and forward to the City Council for final approval
4. FISCAL IMPACT
The total expenditure for the project is $500 and will be funded in Minor Traffic Control Devices (16302) through Traffic Improvement Measure M2 (263).
5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 1: Provide for a safe community
b. Provide and maintain infrastructure necessary to ensure the safety of the public.
6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
In September 2021, the Traffic Engineering Division (“staff”)received a request that the south side of Collins Avenue between Hart Street and 2842 Collins Avenue (generally between Hart Street and Fire Station 2) be added to the City’sNeighborhood Parking Permit Program (NPPP.) This segment of Collins Avenue is just over one block in length and affects ten parking spaces. For permit parking to be considered, all NPPP guidelines and criteria must be met, including those for parking occupancy and neighborhood support.
Parking Occupancy
Staff mapped and counted the number of legal parking spaces in the affected area. Because the demand for on-street parking was highest in the evenings, staff conducted the parking observations during those hours. Beginning at 5:30 P.M., and progressively later each night, staff made seven observations in the subject neighborhood, including one Sunday observation. Per the City’sadopted NPPP, a street parking occupancy rate of 75% is required to qualify for permit parking. The level of City of Orange Printed on 3/31/2022Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
550
Item #: 4.1. 2/9/2022 File #: 22-0079
parking occupancy observed by staff for the study area is 82.9%.
Petition
Because the parking occupancy exceeded the minimum 75% threshold, a petition was circulated to determine the level of neighborhood support. A petition letter and a list of permit parking advantages and disadvantages were sent to each of the resident or absentee property owners and in the study area.
Affected Streets Households In Favor Households OpposedUnreturned Collins Ave. 8 87.5% 0 0% 1 12.5%
The above petition results indicate that this segment of Collins Avenue has 87.5% of property owners in favor of the permit parking program, which exceeds the minimum NPPP requirement of 75%.
Based on the above, the parking occupancy and petition support thresholds are satisfied. In addition, Collins Avenue satisfies all other requirements of the NPPP for permit parking consideration.
If approved, the Orange Police Department would issue the permits to eligible households Participation in the permit program is voluntary; however, after implementation any vehicle parked on the street without a permit will be subject to citation.
Analysis
Staff has documented a consistently high demand for on-street parking in the subject area that becomes progressively greater through the evening hours. The level of parking demand exceeds the minimum requirements under the policies of the NPPP. Upon receipt of any permit parking request, staff defines the limits and extent of the potential permit parking area (study area.) In certain cases, the study area is modified or expanded in order to pre-emptively mitigate the potential shift of parking demand onto adjacent streets with questionable parking capacity.
In this particular case, when establishing the study area, staff also evaluated parking demand on the adjoining streets of Hart Street and Barkley Avenue. The results of the evaluation indicated that parking demand on these streets does not appear high enough to meet parking occupancy thresholds, even if all ten vehicles displaced from Collins Avenue were to move into the adjoining neighborhood. In addition, any displacement of vehicles is likely to distribute among various streets in a manner that would minimize impacts to any one location. Therefore, proposed permit parking area is confined to the originally requested limits described above and similar in size to several previously approved permit parking areas within the city.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Traffic Commission approve the implementation of a Neighborhood Parking Permit Program on the south side of Collins Avenue from Hart Street to 2842 E. Collins Avenue.
The proponent and all residents within potential impact areas of this neighborhood were notified of this item on Traffic Commission Meeting agenda.

1. SUBJECT
FY 23 Budget Preparation Update.
2. SUMMARY
This staff report provides an update regarding budgetary items for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
None.
5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 2: Be a fiscally healthy community
b: Analyze future fiscal needs and potential revenue opportunities.
6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
At the April 26, 2022 Budget Study Session with the City Council, staff provided updated information on the preparation of the FY 23 Budget. This included current General Fund revenues and expenditures, as well as the status of the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 (FY 23) General Fund budget. At this time, we are pleased to announce that we have a balanced budget.
After robust dialogue in that meeting, Council requested staff to provide feedback for discussion about various budget related topics. While staff has already provided answers to individual Council questions on a variety of topics; however, multiple Councilmembers had questions and requested additional information specifically related to the Orange Police Department. The following provides a discussion on police staffing and related safety trends.
Staff presented the addition of three Police Officer positions in FY 23, amounting to $285,609 in the first year and $432,741 as an ongoing cost. Council requested more information on current and historical Orange Police Department staffing levels, the level of safety currently maintained, and how Department capacity compares to that of other cities.
Beginning in FY 97, there were a total of 145 budgeted sworn positions. From FY 99 through FY 01, twelve additional sworn positions were added to the schedule of positions, bringing the total to 157.
Between FY 05 and FY 08, eight additional positions were added bringing the total to 165 sworn City of Orange Printed on 5/5/2022Page 1 of 2

Item #: 7.3. 5/10/2022 File #: 22-0299
Between FY 05 and FY 08, eight additional positions were added bringing the total to 165 sworn positions where it has remained to the current time.
Although 165 has been the approved sworn positions, six (6) of those positions have been either unbudgeted or budgeted but left unfilled for cost savings by the City beginning in FY 14, through FY 22, leaving an effective total sworn positions of 159. The average number of filled sworn positions has been 153, with a vacancy rate of 3.8%. While the Police Department has been proactively engaged in the recruitment process, not all budgeted positions are filled due to length of training and extensive hiring practices to ensure the highest quality candidates are onboarded. This situation is not unique to the City of Orange, as other cities similarly do not have every budgeted position filled at any given time. Considering the vacancy rate, the City has maintained a staff level ratio that is greater than or equal to its neighboring cities, according to a survey completed amongst the Police Chiefs in various cities in Orange County.
Currently, the Police Department is actively in the process to fill vacant positions, with five laterals in the hiring process and nine new members in the academy. With the potential to expand the police force with the aforementioned six positions that have been held vacant, as well as the three positions proposed in the FY 23 budget, the City will expand its capacity by nine additional police officer positions.
As stated, the Police Department currently consists of 165 budgeted sworn positions. With the proposal of three additional sworn positions (168 total) slated for FY 23, the City’ssworn positions per 1,000 population is 1.22, based on a population of 137,366, placing the City in the top ten for Orange County cities, behind La Palma, Brea and Newport Beach, but ahead of Costa Mesa, Tustin, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Cypress, and Fountain Valley.
Staff also looked at several crime-related metrics and comparisons to eight comparable Orange County cities. Uniform Crime Reporting data from 2019 (the latest available from all jurisdictions) showed that Orange had the 3rd lowest rate for violent crimes, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, and motor vehicle theft, and 2nd lowest rate for larceny-theft. Additionally, Orange recently ranked as the 22nd safest city in the United States among the 200 largest cities by SmartAsset. Only Irvine ranked ahead of Orange among Orange County cities. The personnel and crime data demonstrates that the City Council has and continues to prioritize safety for its residents.
As a reminder, Council has the option for a third Budget Session, which is slated for May 24, 2022.
This Council may choose to forgo this as staff can continue preparing the budget for adoption scheduled for the June 14, 2022 meeting.

a: Provide staffing and resources to deliver services that ensure public safety.
6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed into law eight major peace officer reform bills, including Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481), which was authored by Assembly member David Chiu (D-San Francisco) to address the funding, acquisition, and use of items lawmakers deem to be considered “military equipment.”
Per AB 481, codified as Government Code sections 7070 through 7075, it requires law enforcement agencies to obtain approval from Council, by adoption of a military equipment use policy, as specified, by ordinance at a regular meeting held pursuant to specified open meeting laws, prior to taking certain actions relating to funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment, as defined.
Furthermore, AB 481 requires similar approval for the continued use of military equipment acquired by law enforcement agencies prior to January 1, 2022, and allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the City of Orange Printed on 5/5/2022Page 1 of 4

Item #: 9.1. 5/10/2022 File #: 22-0197
funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the equipment meets specified standards. AB 481 requires each law enforcement agency’sgoverning body to adopt a written military equipment use policy by ordinance in a public hearing.
The following 15 categories are defined as military equipment and referenced in Government Code 7070.
Category 1: Unmanned, remotely piloted, powered aerial or ground vehicles Category 2: Mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicles or armored personnel carriers Category 3: High mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWV), commonly referred to as Humvees, two and one-half-ton trucks, five-ton trucks, or wheeled vehicles that have a breaching or entry apparatus attached
Category 4: Tracked armored vehicles that provide ballistic protection to their occupants and utilize a tracked system instead of wheels for forward motion Category 5: Command and control vehicles that are either built or modified to facilitate the operational control and direction of public safety units Category 6: Weaponized aircraft, vessels, or vehicles of any kind Category 7: Battering rams, slugs, and breaching apparatuses that are explosive in nature Category 8: Firearms of .50 caliber or greater, excluding standard issue shotguns Category 9: Ammunition of .50 caliber or greater, excluding standard issue shotgun ammunition
Category 10: Specialized firearms and ammunition of less than .50 caliber, including assault weapons as defined in Penal Code §30510 and Penal Code §30515, with the exception of standard issue service weapons
Category 11: Any firearm or firearm accessory that is designated to launch explosive projectiles
Category 12: Flashbang grenades and explosive breaching tools, tear gas, and pepper balls, excluding service issued handheld pepper spray
Category 13: Taser Shockwave, microwave weapons, water cannons, and long-range acoustic device.
Category 14: Projectile launch platforms and their associated munitions, including 40mm projectile launchers, bean bag, rubber bullet, and special impact munition Category 15: Any other equipment as determined by a governing body or a state agency to require additional oversight
Items deemed “military equipment” by AB 481 are not necessarily indicative of equipment used by the military. The application in which the military uses equipment in the course of their work is larger in scope and may include tactical transport, surveillance, reconnaissance, and target acquisition.
Whereas law enforcement agencies are minimized to de-escalation, search and rescue, protection, and defense. Such items include, but are not limited to, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), armored rescue vehicle (ARV), command and control vehicles, less lethal 40mm projectile launchers, and City of Orange Printed on 5/5/2022Page 2 of 4

Item #: 9.1. 5/10/2022 File #: 22-0197
pepper balls.
Other items deemed to be “military equipment” by AB 481 include foundational equipment such as rifles. Rifles allow police officers to address lethal threats from a greater distance and with greater precision. In addition, rifles keep police officers from being “outgunned”by suspects who possess higher caliber weapons. A recent example of this occurred in August 2021, near the Plaza, when a suspect fired rounds from an assault rifle in a neighboring residence.
It should be noted the Orange Police Department (OPD) does not participate in the California Department of General Services federal surplus property acquisition from the Department of Defense, commonly referred to as “1033Program.”Furthermore, OPD does not use, or possess, any such surplus property that has been used or acquired from the military. Items currently used and in the possession of OPD deemed to be “militaryequipment”by AB 481 were purchased following the City’s procurement policy through the General (100), Asset Forfeiture (355), and COPS Supplemental Law Enforcement Services (354) funds.
A list of current military equipment in OPD’spossession is defined in the Military Equipment Policy.
Should the Department receive approval from the City Council for a military equipment use policy in compliance with AB 481, OPD will replenish inventory levels as needed, present new equipment items annually for approval, submit an annual report for each type of military equipment used within one year of approval, and annually thereafter.
Certain equipment, such as items listed in Category 1, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAV), are in a constant state of improvement with advances in technology and battery life. It may not be possible to replace the exact equipment listed in the Military Equipment Policy and approved by the Council due to it no longer being available.

This would include a review of whether each type of military equipment identified in the annual report has complied with the standard for approval. The Police Department’s annual report would include the use of military equipment, any complaints received, any internal audits or other information about violations of the Orange Police Department Military Equipment Policy, and the cost of such use and other similar information.
OPD is committed to using the most up-to-date tools and equipment to safeguard the community of Orange. Many items deemed “military equipment” by AB 481 are, in fact, employed by OPD and other law enforcement agencies in Orange County, California and across the country. These items provide police officers with the ability to safely resolve volatile situations which otherwise might rise to the level of a lethal force encounter. Lastly, the items listed in this report and accompanying Military Equipment Use Policy, also provide OPD officers with the vital tools that facilitate compliance to protect the welfare and safety of the community.
The Orange Police Department recommends approval of proposed Ordinance No. 03-22 and Military Equipment Policy.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed into law eight major peace officer reform bills, including Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481), which was authored by Assembly member David Chiu (D-San Francisco) to address the funding, acquisition, and use of items lawmakers deem to be considered “military equipment.”
Per AB 481, codified as Government Code sections 7070 through 7075, it requires law enforcement agencies to obtain approval from Council, by adoption of a military equipment use policy, as specified, by ordinance at a regular meeting held pursuant to specified open meeting laws, prior to taking certain actions relating to funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment, as defined.
Furthermore, AB 481 requires similar approval for the continued use of military equipment acquired by law enforcement agencies prior to January 1, 2022, and allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the City of Orange Printed on 5/5/2022Page 1 of 4

Item #: 9.1. 5/10/2022 File #: 22-0197
funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the equipment meets specified standards. AB 481 requires each law enforcement agency’sgoverning body to adopt a written military equipment use policy by ordinance in a public hearing.
The following 15 categories are defined as military equipment and referenced in Government Code 7070.
Category 1: Unmanned, remotely piloted, powered aerial or ground vehicles Category 2: Mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicles or armored personnel carriers Category 3: High mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWV), commonly referred to as Humvees, two and one-half-ton trucks, five-ton trucks, or wheeled vehicles that have a breaching or entry apparatus attached
Category 4: Tracked armored vehicles that provide ballistic protection to their occupants and utilize a tracked system instead of wheels for forward motion Category 5: Command and control vehicles that are either built or modified to facilitate the operational control and direction of public safety units Category 6: Weaponized aircraft, vessels, or vehicles of any kind Category 7: Battering rams, slugs, and breaching apparatuses that are explosive in nature Category 8: Firearms of .50 caliber or greater, excluding standard issue shotguns Category 9: Ammunition of .50 caliber or greater, excluding standard issue shotgun ammunition
Category 10: Specialized firearms and ammunition of less than .50 caliber, including assault weapons as defined in Penal Code §30510 and Penal Code §30515, with the exception of standard issue service weapons
Category 11: Any firearm or firearm accessory that is designated to launch explosive projectiles
Category 12: Flashbang grenades and explosive breaching tools, tear gas, and pepper balls, excluding service issued handheld pepper spray
Category 13: Taser Shockwave, microwave weapons, water cannons, and long-range acoustic device.
Category 14: Projectile launch platforms and their associated munitions, including 40mm projectile launchers, bean bag, rubber bullet, and special impact munition Category 15: Any other equipment as determined by a governing body or a state agency to require additional oversight
Items deemed “military equipment” by AB 481 are not necessarily indicative of equipment used by the military. The application in which the military uses equipment in the course of their work is larger in scope and may include tactical transport, surveillance, reconnaissance, and target acquisition.
Whereas law enforcement agencies are minimized to de-escalation, search and rescue, protection, and defense. Such items include, but are not limited to, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), armored rescue vehicle (ARV), command and control vehicles, less lethal 40mm projectile launchers, and City of Orange Printed on 5/5/2022Page 2 of 4

565
Item #: 9.1. 5/10/2022 File #: 22-0197
pepper balls.
Other items deemed to be “military equipment” by AB 481 include foundational equipment such as rifles. Rifles allow police officers to address lethal threats from a greater distance and with greater precision. In addition, rifles keep police officers from being “outgunned”by suspects who possess higher caliber weapons. A recent example of this occurred in August 2021, near the Plaza, when a suspect fired rounds from an assault rifle in a neighboring residence.
It should be noted the Orange Police Department (OPD) does not participate in the California Department of General Services federal surplus property acquisition from the Department of Defense, commonly referred to as “1033Program.”Furthermore, OPD does not use, or possess, any such surplus property that has been used or acquired from the military. Items currently used and in the possession of OPD deemed to be “militaryequipment”by AB 481 were purchased following the City’s procurement policy through the General (100), Asset Forfeiture (355), and COPS Supplemental Law Enforcement Services (354) funds.
A list of current military equipment in OPD’spossession is defined in the Military Equipment Policy.
Should the Department receive approval from the City Council for a military equipment use policy in compliance with AB 481, OPD will replenish inventory levels as needed, present new equipment items annually for approval, submit an annual report for each type of military equipment used within one year of approval, and annually thereafter.
Certain equipment, such as items listed in Category 1, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAV), are in a constant state of improvement with advances in technology and battery life. It may not be possible to replace the exact equipment listed in the Military Equipment Policy and approved by the Council due to it no longer being available. In such cases, the Police Department will make every effort to replace the equipment with the upgraded model from the same manufacturer.
In addition to the equipment listed in the Military Equipment Policy, the Department is requesting to add the following equipment not currently in use but in possession of the Police Department:
Equipment type: Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) CA Gov't Code 7070(c)(1) Description: DJI Mini 2; Quad propeller: FAA flight number; Serial Number 5DXCJB61A30B4J

ORDINANCE NO. 03-22
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ORANGE ADOPTING A POLICY FOR
THE USE OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT BY THE
CITY OF ORANGE POLICE DEPARTMENT
WHEREAS, on September 30, 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill No. 481 (AB 481) , relating to the use of military equipment by law enforcement agencies; and
WHEREAS, AB 481, codified as Government Code sections 7070 through 7075, requires law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of the applicable governing body, by an ordinance adopting a “military equipment” use policy, at a regular meeting held pursuant to open meeting laws, prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acqui sition, or use of military equipment. The term “military equipment” is defined in California Government Code section 7070; and
WHEREAS, AB 481 allows the governing body of a city to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within i ts jurisdiction only if it makes specified determinations; and
WHEREAS, the proposed military equipment use policy is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Military Equipment Policy”); and
WHEREAS, the Military Equipment Policy was published on the City of Orange Police Department’s internet website on April 4, 2022, more than 30 days before the Military Equipment Policy was first considered at a public hearing before the City Council on May 10, 2022; and
WHEREAS, the Military Equipment Policy meets the requirements of California Government Code section 7070, subdivision (d).
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COU NCIL OF THE CITY OF ORANGE
DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I
The recitals stated above are true and correct, incorporated herein, and form the basis for the adoption of this Ordinance.
SECTION II
(1) The proposed Ordinance is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3), because the Ordinance simply provides procedural noticing and posting requirements. The 568
2 proposed Ordinance does not cause changes to the residential density established in the General Plan. It does not involve a specific site or development project, and does not otherwise result in a physical change that could cause an impact to the environmen t.
Adoption of the Ordinance is therefore not a "project" as defined in CEQA Guideline 15378.
(2) The proposed Ordinance is exempt from CEQA per CEQA Guideline 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty, after review and evaluation of the facts regard ing the Ordinance and its application, that there is substantial evidence that adoption of the Ordinance would not have a significant effect on the environment and the common sense exemption applies.
(3) In the unlikely event adoption of the Ordinance would constitute a project under CEQA, it is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA per CEQA Guideline 15321(a) (Class 21, Enforcement Actions by Regulatory Agencies) because said adoption is an action taken by the City as a regulatory agency and invo lves “enforcement of a law, general rule, standard, or objective, administered or adopted by the regulatory agency.”
SECTION III
Based on the above facts, in addition to information provided to the City Council at the public meeting, the City Council approves and adopts the Military Equipment Policy, based on the following findings:
1. The military equipment identified in the Military Equipment Policy is necessary because there are no reasonable alternatives that can achieve the same objectives of officer and civilian safety.
2. The Military Equipment Policy will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties.
3. The military equipment identified in the Military Equipment Policy is reasonably cost effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.
4. All prior military equipment use complied with the City’s policies that were in effect at the time.
SECTION IV
If any section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance, and each section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause and phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one (or more) section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase had been declared invalid or unconstitutional.
569
3 SECTION V
The City Clerk is hereby directed to certify the adoption of this Ordinance and cause the same to be published as required by law. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days from and after the date of its final passage.
ADOPTED this ____ day of ___________________, 2022.

Description: Defense Technology Flameless Tri-Chamber CS, Model 1032 Quantity: 10; ideal inventory - 10 Lifespan: 5 years
Capabilities: Capable of being used for crowd control and barricaded subjects Manufacturer’s Description: The Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade is designed for indoor use. This grenade’s pyrotechnic contents are burned within an internal can that is one of three in this design.
The internal combustion allows the chemical-laden smoke to be released through three (3) ports on the outer canister side while safely containing any of the fire-producing properties within the two internal canisters. The fuse is shrouded to further protect surrounding materials from the possibility of fire. The Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade can be used in crowd control as well as tactical deployment situations by Law Enforcement and Corrections but was designed with the barricade situation in mind. Its applications in tactical situations are primarily to detect and/or dislodge barricaded subjects. The purpose of the Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade is to minimize the risks to all parties through pain compliance, temporary discomfort, and/or incapacitation of potentially violent or dangerous subjects. The Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade provides the option of delivering a pyrotechnic chemical device indoors, maximizing the chemicals’ effectiveness via heat and vaporization, while minimizing or negating the chance of fire to the structure. The actual smoke and chemical content is minimal enough that oxygen displacement concerns and LCT is rarely reached. It is a viable option when chemical-laden powders or liquids are ineffective or inappropriate for the situation. As with all pyrotechnic carriers, contamination will be greater than that experienced with powders or liquids

Description: Defense Technology Ferret 40mm CS Powder, Model # 2292 Quantity: 0; ideal inventory -25 Lifespan: 5 years
587
Capabilities: Designed to disperse non-flammable chemical agent creating temporary discomfort through pain compliance; used at a distance and launched from 40mm device Manufacturer’s Description: The Ferret® 40mm Round is a frangible projectile filled with chemical agent. It is designed to deliver chemical agents in barricade situations from a 40mm launcher. Spin stabilization from barrel rifling affords maximum stand-off distance and accuracy for safety. The Ferret® 40mm Round is non-burning and suitable for indoor use. Used primarily by tactical teams, it is designed to penetrate barriers, such as windows, hollow core doors, wallboard and thin plywood.
Upon impacting the barrier, the nose cone ruptures and instantaneously delivers a small chemical payload inside of a structure or vehicle. In a tactical deployment situation, the Ferret® 40mm is primarily used to dislodge barricaded subjects from very small, confined areas. Its purpose is to minimize the risks to all parties through pain compliance, temporary discomfort and/or incapacitation of potentially violent or dangerous subjects. The Ferret® 40mm Round is available with either liquid or powder carriers for the agent. Once delivered, powder carriers tend to keep the agent airborne longer than liquid carriers and may have more effect. Liquid carriers contain red dye to aid in shot placement. Shot placement and trajectory considerations should be based on hardness of the barrier.
However, accuracy is dependent on the operator and the condition of the launcher. Velocity and barricade penetration results will vary between launchers, temperature conditioning and impact angle

Capabilities: launched from a 40mm launcher to gain compliance as less lethal control device Manufacturer’s Description: The 40mm eXact iMpact™ Sponge Round has evolved from the design of the 40mm XM1006 projectile, developed by the US Army Research Laboratory. This lightweight, high- speed projectile incorporates a plastic body and a foam (sponge) nose which is spin stabilized via the incorporated rifling collar and the 40mm launcher’s rifled barrel. The round utilizes smokeless powder as the propellant and has velocities that are extremely consistent. The 40mm eXact iMpact™ Sponge Round is a “point-of-aim, point-of-impact” direct fire round that is most commonly used by tactical teams in situations where maximum deliverable energy is desired for the incapacitation of an aggressive, non-compliant subject. In many municipalities, these are being selected for both tactical call outs and as an available option for patrol. The 40mm eXact iMpact™ Sponge Round is intended for direct fire deployment. The operator should be adequately trained in the use of Less Lethal Impact Munitions and have a thorough understanding of the round and considerations for selecting shot placement such as level of threat, target distance, size and clothing. The 40mm eXact iMpact™ Sponge Round will prove most successful for incapacitation when used within its optimal energy range of approximately 5 – 40 meters, although it may used in situations from 1.5 – 50 meters. The optimal zone offers the necessary energy and accuracy to target the large muscle groups of the buttocks, thigh, and even the knees of the subject. These areas provide sufficient pain stimulus, while greatly reducing serious or life-threateninginjuries. The 40mm eXact iMpact™ Sponge Round can also be deployed in crowd control situations to protect the riot line, cover or enhance chemical munitions, or targeting specific agitators and organizers of the crowd. When used in this fashion, it is primarily both a psychological deterrent and physiological distraction serving as a pain compliance device to either get the crowd or subject moving or keeping them at a designated distance Purpose/Authorized Uses: Used to gain compliance and break windows on vehicle and structures Fiscal Impacts: $19.16 per round;/ $9,053.10 to maintain ideal inventory Legal/Procedural Rules Governing Use: All applicable State, Federal and Local laws governing police use of force; Department Policy – Use of Force; Crisis Response Unit; Control Devices and Techniques Training Required: Agency authorized orientation course; annual refresher Compliance Mechanisms: Department Policy – Control Devices and Techniques
