Executive Summary
On September 30, 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsom approved Assembly Bill 481, requiring law enforcement agencies to obtain approval from the applicable governing body (City Council), by adoption of a military equipment use policy. The Pacifica Police Department is required to seek City Council approval of their Military Equipment Use Policy at a regular open meeting prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment. The term “military equipment,” as used in AB 481, does not necessarily indicate equipment used by the military. Items deemed by the bill to be “military equipment” include commonly used law enforcement tools such as unmanned aircraft systems, armored rescue vehicle, less-than-lethal weapons, certain types of semi-automatic rifles, and etc.

Assembly Bill 481 allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, and use of this equipment within its jurisdiction, only if it determines that the equipment meets specified standards. The Military Equipment Use Policy is subject to City Council review to determine whether the standards set forth in Assembly Bill 481 have been met, based upon an Annual Military Equipment Use Report. AB 2546 was signed into law in 2024 and made minor amendments to certain devices referred to in the definition of “military equipment.” Finally, Assembly Bill 481 requires publication of the Military Equipment Use Policy and the Annual Military Equipment Use Report on the police department’s website.

Assembly Bill 481 California Government Code section 7072 states the following:

A. A law enforcement agency that receives approval for a military equipment use policy pursuant to Section 7071 shall submit to the governing body an annual military equipment report for each type of military equipment approved by the governing body within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The law enforcement agency shall also make each annual military equipment report required by this section publicly available on its internet website for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The annual military equipment report shall, at a minimum, include the following information for the immediately preceding calendar year for each type of military equipment:

ASSEMBLY BILL 481 MILITARY QUIPMENT ANNUAL REPORT 6
Summary
The Pacifica Police Department (PPD) has equipment meeting 4 of the 16 categories requiring reporting by AB 481 and Department Policy 705 in 2024. The equipment has been used minimally, largely related to training and certification. The City did not receive any complaints, audits, or policy violations regarding the use or acquisition of the equipment. The Pacifica Police Department has diligently followed the established Department Policy 705, ensuring transparency and accountability in its operations. Plans for future equipment purchases meeting the reporting requirements of AB 481 are minimal and mostly focused on replacing or replenishing equipment used throughout the year.

Military Equipment Definitions & Status in Pacifica:

The following is a list of the Military Equipment, as defined in Department Policy 705, and an overview of how it is used by the Pacifica Police Department in 2024:
“Unmanned, remotely piloted, powered aerial system or ground vehicles” In October of 2024, the police department was approved to purchase and deploy two (2) Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS/drones). Delivery of the initially purchased DJI drones were delayed because the United States Customs and Border Protection Agency did not allow them to be imported from China, citing concerns related to labor practices. After several months of delay, our vendor, Axon, facilitated the purchase of two (2) new drones from Skydio, an American manufacturer based in San Mateo. Delivery of the Skydio drones is expected in Fall of 2025. The City terminated its order for the two (2) DJI drones.

During 2024, UAS/drone technology was utilized in specific incidents where it served a public safety need. Requests for these assets were made through the San Bruno and Daly City Police Department.

With the acquisition of two Skydio X10 drones, the police department intends to utilize these assets during search and rescue operations, pre-planned tactical operations, high-risk and critical incident overwatch, suspect apprehension, and community caretaking situations involving missing persons. The unmanned aerial systems will not be weaponized.

The police department identified the Skydio X10 as the UAS technology that best meets the community’s public safety needs. The Skydio X10 is a medium-sized UAS with a battery system for extended flight operations and weather-resistant image sensors. It is also the first drone to integrate a Teledyne FLIR Boson+ sensor, delivering the highest-quality thermal imaging.

Onboard image optimization algorithms enhance detail in distant objects and improve overall clarity for easier interpretation.

ASSEMBLY BILL 481 MILITARY QUIPMENT ANNUAL REPORT 7
The Skydio X10 is designed for rapid deployment, equipped with both color and thermal imaging sensors, and the capability to communicate through an attached speaker. The system is easily accessible from a patrol car and supports quick field deployment.

The Skydio X10 will provide high-quality imaging systems to support operations and deliver critical safety technology to ensure safe flights and contingency responses. This advanced technology includes obstacle-avoidance capabilities and an automatic return-to-home function in the event of lost connectivity or low power.

Utilizing this Axon Air technology will also allow for seamless integration with the department’s Axon digital evidence management system, ensuring secure video storage and compliance with established record retention policies.
“Mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicles or armored personnel carriers. However, police versions of standard consumer vehicles are specifically excluded.” The police department does not utilize or operate any tracked vehicles of any kind. Armored Rescue Vehicle (ARV) are specifically used by first responders. They offer ballistic protection in emergencies where an armed encounter is likely. The ARV is also used to evacuate citizens from an area where a threat from an armed suspect exists.
“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. However, unarmored all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and motorized dirt bikes are specifically excluded.”
The police department does not use high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWV), Humvees, or similar vehicles, nor does it use large trucks, as described in this section. Some armored rescue vehicle (ARV) can have a breaching ram mounted to its front. This tool has proven helpful for safely opening front doors without exposing officers to danger by having them approach the door on foot. Breaching an entry point is often the most dangerous part of a high-risk entry to a structure. This breaching option results in a reduced likelihood of a potentially lethal encounter during entry.
“Tracked armored vehicles that provide ballistic protection to their occupants and utilize a tracked system instead of wheels for forward motion.”
The police department does not utilize tracked vehicles of any kind. “Command and control vehicles that are either built or modified to facilitate the operational control and direction of public safety units.”
The police department currently has one marked police command trailer used to sustain law enforcement incidents. It is used as a command post for law enforcement incidents, including, but not limited to DUI checkpoints, major collision scenes, major crime scenes, or other ASSEMBLY BILL 481 MILITARY QUIPMENT ANNUAL REPORT 8
sustained incident where access to law enforcement computers, communication equipment and shelter is required. Grant funds (OTS) were the primary source of funding for this piece of equipment.
“Weaponized aircraft, vessels or vehicles of any kind.” The police department does not utilize weaponized aircraft, vessels or vehicles of any kind. “Battering rams, slugs, and breaching apparatuses that are explosive in nature. However, items designed to remove a lock, such as bolt cutters, or a handheld ram designed to be operated by one person, are specifically excluded from this subdivision.” The police department does not use explosive breaching devices. Due to the construction of doors in commercial, government, and school buildings, more than manual breaching equipment such as single-person rams and pry bars are required to gain entry to many structures rapidly.
“Firearms of .50 caliber or greater. However, standard issue shotguns are specifically excluded from this subdivision.”
The police department does not utilize any firearms of .50 caliber or greater. “Ammunition of .50 caliber or greater. However, standard issue shotgun ammunition is specifically excluded from this subdivision.”
The police department does not utilize any ammunition of .50 caliber or greater. “Specialized firearms and ammunition of less than .50 caliber, including assault weapons as defined in Sections 30510 and 30515 of the Penal Code, with the exception of standard issue service weapons and ammunition of less than .50 caliber that are issued to officers, agents, or employees of a law enforcement agency or a state agency.” The police department possess 16 semi-automatic, 16” barrel, Smith & Wesson M&P patrol rifles, defined as assault weapons, under the California Penal Code. Police officers are required to complete a 4-hour in-house training course with a certified range instructor prior to deploying the weapon out in the field. Officers will also attend a certified California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) rifle training course. Patrol rifles allow officers to address lethal threats with precision from a distance. Compared to handguns, they are more accurate at greater distances. The rifles use standard law enforcement ammunition, and their use and deployment are outlined in PPD Policy 306.

The department possess 3 semi-automatic, 11.5” barrel, Colt M4 Commando rifles, defined as assault rifles. The rifles are short-barreled rifles which allow a trained officer better control inside of structures with greater accuracy, rapid response, maneuverability and enhanced firepower in critical situations. The Colt rifles are typically used by trained SWAT officers.

ASSEMBLY BILL 481 MILITARY QUIPMENT ANNUAL REPORT 9
The department maintains a supply of .223 Winchester duty and training ammunition. These are maintained by the range staff and secured in the department armory. “Any firearm or firearm accessory that is designed to launch explosive projectiles.” The police department does not use any firearm designed to launch explosive projectiles. “’Flashbang” grenades and explosive breaching tools, “tear gas,” and “pepper balls,” excluding standard, service-issued handheld pepper spray.” The police department does not utilize noise-flash diversionary devices known as “flashbangs” or “tear gas”. Noise-flash diversionary devices are used to cause a distraction during highly dangerous activities, such as entering a structure during warrant service. The use of this equipment is intended to minimize injury to officers and suspects. “Taser Shockwave, microwave weapons, water cannons, and the Long-Range Acoustic Device (LRAD).”
The police department does not utilize any of the described devices. Taser Shockwave is a device built by Axon Technologies to deny entry to certain areas. Long-Range Acoustic Devices have applications to deliver highly audible public addresses. “The following projectile launch platforms and their associated munitions: 40mm projectile launchers, “bean bag,” rubber bullet, and specialty impact munition (SIM) weapons.” The Pacifica Police Department possesses 11 clearly marked Mossberg 590 Tactical, 12-guage, less-than-lethal shotguns. The less-than-lethal shotguns are a de-escalation tool where lethal force is not appropriate or undesirable. The shotguns fire a ballistic fiber bag, “Super-Sock”, filled with approximately 40 grams of shot at a velocity of approximately 270 feet per second.

Officers are required to complete a 4-hour in-house training course with a certified range instructor prior to deploying the less-than-lethal shotguns out in the field.

The Pacifica Police Department possesses 2 Pepperball FTC launchers. The FTC Launchers function similarly to a paintball gun which deploys PAVA powder projectiles. FTC Launchers are intended to be used as less-than-lethal impact devices, an alternate to a higher level of force.

Officers are required to complete a 2-hour in-house training course with a certified Pepperball instructor prior to deploying the launchers out in the field.

Therefore, to prevent weapon malfunctions, each cartridge must be manually loaded into the chamber for each shot.

Effective range is dependent on the launching cup, launcher, and weight of munitions being launched. The baseline for performance of a Model 2600 Launching Cartridge is that it will launch a Model 9230 CS Grenade a minimum of 100 yards (91M), with cylinder bore and 18" bbl.

Defense Technologies 40mm Liquid Ferret Round: 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 40mm Ferret is primarily used to dislodge barricaded subjects from 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.

Defense Technologies Pocket Tactical CS Gas Grenade: The Pocket Tactical CS Grenade is small, and lightweight. The 0.9 oz. of active agent will burn approximately 20-40 seconds.

At 4.75 in. by 1.4 inches in size, it easily fits in most tactical pouches. This is a launchable grenade; however, it is normally used as a signaling or covering device. Though this device is slightly over four inches in length, it produces a smoke cloud so fast it appears to be an enveloping screen produced by a full-size tactical grenade.

Defense Technologies Maximum Smoke HC Grenade: The Maximum Smoke Grenade is designed specifically for outdoor use in crowd control situations with a high-volume continuous burn that expels its payload in approximately 30-40 seconds through four gas ASSEMBLY BILL 481 MILITARY QUIPMENT ANNUAL REPORT 28
ports located on the top of the canister. This grenade can be used to conceal tactical movement or to route a crowd. The volume of smoke and agent is vast and obtrusive. This launchable colored smoke grenade is 6.0 in. by 2.35 in. and holds approximately 2.9 oz. of active agent.

Defense Technologies Triple-Chaser CS Gas Canister: The Triple-Chaser® CS consists of three separate canisters pressed together with separating charges between each. When deployed, the canisters separate and land approximately 20 feet apart allowing increased area coverage in a short period of time. This grenade can be hand thrown or launched from a fired delivery system. The grenade is 6.5 in. by 2.7 in. and holds an approximately 3.2 oz. of active agent payload. It has an approximate burn time of 20-30 seconds.

Purpose/Authorized Uses: Chemical agents are intended for use as a less-lethal force response option. They can be deployed by trained Department personnel for riot control purposes, during tactical operations involving barricaded suspects, or in other situations where lesser means are reasonably believed to be ineffective or involve substantially more risk to Department personnel.

The approved 40mm impact munition for patrol use is the CTS Tactical 4557 40mm Point Control Impact Munitions. This lightweight, high-speed projectile incorporates a plastic body and closed cell neoprene material which is spin stabilized via the incorporated rifling collar and the 40mm launcher's rifle barrel. The round uses smokeless powder as the propellant and has velocities that are extremely consistent. The CTS Tactical 4556 40mm Frangible Impact OC powder are designed to disperse marking powder on and around the target following deployment. The frangible Impact+ munitions are spin-stabilized projectile and deliver multi-effects of blunt trauma and dispersal of irritant powder on and around target. Although it is extremely accurate and consistent, accuracy is dependent on the launcher, using open sights vs. an improved sight, environmental conditions, and the operator. Effectiveness depends on many variables, such as distance, clothing, stature, and the point where the projectile impacts.

Purpose/Authorized Uses: The 40mm Launchers, kinetic energy munitions, and chemical agent munitions are intended for use as a less-lethal force response option.
