Outlined below is the 2022-2023 Annual Military Equipment Report in accordance with Government Code 7072.
3 BACKGROUND
Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 481 on September 30, 2021, which aims to regulate the financing, procurement, and utilization of "military equipment" by law enforcement agencies in California. The Police Department is reqiiired to seek City Council approval of their military equipment use procedure by ordinance at a regular open meeting prior to taking certain actions relating to funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined. Effective January 1, 2022, AB 481 allows the governing body to approve funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specific standards. AB 481 also mandates that law enforcement agencies carry out the following each year as described in Government Code 7072:
• A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use • A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment. • The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the military equipment use policy, and any actions taken in response. . The total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing costs, and from what source funds will be provided for the military equipment in the calendar year following submission of the annual military equipment report. • The quantity possessed for each type of military equipment. • If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional military equipment in the next year, the quantity sought for each type of military equipment.
In addition, within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing the Report, a well- publicized and community engagement meeting must be held to allow for public comments. 4 MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE, AMOUNT OF USAGE, AND ANNUAL COST ITEM

CATEGORY 12
1. Flashbang Distraction Devices
a.) Description, quantity, capabilities, and purchase cost:
The Flashbang is a 12-gram low roll, non-lethal Distraction Device (DD) that creates a bright flash and loud sound to divert the attention of subjects in the immediate area. The devices produce atmospheric over-pressure and brilliant white light and, as a result, can cause short-term (6 - 8 seconds) physiological/psychological sensory deprivation and/or distraction to give officers a tactical advantage.
I. DD8920NR
Emits a loud "bang" and a flash of light. To be deployed by hand or with an extension pole or like device. The Distraction Device is meant to distract and disorient. The Distraction Device should only be deployed in areas that have been visually observed to be clear of potential hazards.
Quantity: 90
Cost: $3,000
II. ALS Tech Magnum
This device is a bigger and louder version of the above distraction devices (DD 8920NR). The need for this device is to overwhelm the person(s) senses, who are barricaded and involved in a violent encounter with officer. The over pressure has a physiological and psychological effect on the subject. After the percussion from the diversion device, officers have a greater chance of overcoming subjects who were temporarily disoriented from the device. This tool has a great potential to de-escalate the incident.
Quantity 10
Cost: $650
b.) Purpose:
Flashbangs are used to distract and temporarily debilitate 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, such as hostage rescue. It is non-lethal in that it does not generate shrapnel or projectiles designed to injure or kill.
Flashbang Distraction Devices have been used by the Pasadena Police Department for several years and are standard issue equipment for Special Weapons and Tactics teams in the State of California. Potential uses of a distraction device include:
i. Hostage rescue and barricaded subject situations.
ii. High-risk warrant (search/arrest) services where there may be extreme hazards to officers.
10 Updated: 10/16/23
iii. During other high-risk situations where their use would enhance officer safety, such as an active shooter incident.
iv. During training exercises.
c.) Authorized Use:
With the authorization of an Incident Commander or SWAT Supervisor, distraction devices are only used by SWAT or SWAT certified officers who have been trained in their proper use. All other applicable PDD policies remain in effect including PPD Policy 300 - Use of Force, PPD Policy 408 - Special Weapons and Tactics.
d.) Expected Lifespan:
5 years
e.) Fiscal Impact:
1. DD 8920NR - Annual cost between $0 - $4,345.97
II. ALS Tech Magnum-Annual cost between $0 - $1,070.13
11 Updated: 10/16/23
2. Chemical Agent Devices:
a.) Description, quantity, capabilities, and purchase cost:
Commonly referred to as "tear gas," chemical agents are used as a non-lethat tool to de-escalate an incident, presen/e human life, and prevent lethal encounters.
Chemical agent munitions come in a variety of designs, apply to different situations and are standard equipment of law enforcement agencies across the nation. Not any one device or design can achieve the operational needs of any and all circumstances, to preserve life. The use of chemical agents is a categorical use of force and should not be used unless the elements of criminal behavior warrant the deployment.
Two types of chemical agents are CS (2-Chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile) and OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) and defined as follows:
CS is an irritating agent and lachrymator (irritates the eyes and causes tears to flow). Specifically, the U.S. Army has medically tested CS in the UK and US.
There are no known allergic reactions to CS.
OC was de-regulated in California in 1996, is endorsed by the FBI, and is available to civilians to legally possess (2.5oz or less). OC is an inflammatory agent, which causes involuntary closure of eyes (open in 2-5 minutes), and respiratory inflammation (subsides in approximately 2 minutes).
Generally, there are two categories for the use of chemical agents: Criminal Barricaded incidents and Civil Unrest. Criminal Barricade incidents may require the use of chemical agents that are introduced either by hand, with a 40mm launcher or a 12-gauge shotgun. The shotgun round allows for the gas to penetrate barriers and deliver the chemical irritant from a safe position of cover.
Often the introduction of the agent de-escalates the subject, resulting in a peaceful resolution. During times of Civil Unrest involving criminal activity where human life or property is in danger chemical agents may be used to disperse an unruly and/or aggressive crowd.
Pasadena Police department maintains the following types of chemical agents and for the following appropriate uses:
I. 1073-The MAXinflUMSIVIOKE
Device is designed specifically for outdoor use in crowd control situations. It expels its content in approximately 30-40 seconds through four gas ports located on the top of the canister. The smoke can be used to cause a visual distraction and may encourage members of a combative crowd to disperse. Smoke may also be used in a tactical incident when concealment is necessary and unavailable by other means.
Quantity: 47
Cost: $1,422
Appropriate Use: Barricaded subject and/or civil unrest.
II. 1072-The SPEDE-HEATCS
Device is a high volume, continuous distribution. It expels its chemical 12 Updated: 10/16/23
irritant in approximately 20-40 seconds through four gas ports on top of the canister, three on the side and one on the bottom. This launch able device is 6.12 in. by 2.62 in. and holds approximately 2.9 oz. of active agent. The Heat CS is utilized when the crowd has become combative and engaged in criminal behavior. The "Heat" aspect of the gas is to prevent combative participants in the crowd from picking up the can and using it against officers or other citizens. The device has a potential use during an active incident where officers are not able to gain access to suspect without great risk of injury or death.
Quantity: 50
Cost: $1,300
Appropriate Use: Barricaded subject and/or civil unrest.
III. 1026-The Triple-ChaserCS
Consists of three separate canisters pressed together with separating components between each. When deployed, the canisters separate and land approximately 20 feet apart allowing increased area coverage in a short period. The device is 6.5 in. by 2.7 in. and holds an approximately 3.2 oz. of active agent contents. It has an approximate burn time of 20-30 seconds. Can be hand thrown or launched.
Depending on the size of a criminally engaged crowd during civil unrest, the Triple-Chaser allows for multiple sources of gas to be simultaneously introduced into the area by one officer. When the crowd grossly outnumbers the officers, this tool is highly effective.
Quantity: 40
Cost: $1,400
Appropriate Use: Civil unrest.
IV. 1050 - OC/CS AEROSOL OC GAS
Designed for indoor use, this device contains no CFCs, is not a fire hazard and requires minimal decontamination by comparison to smoke, powders, or liquids. The aerosol device is most used in tactical situations by Law Enforcement and Corrections and was designed with indoor operations in mind when a non-fire-producing delivery system is desired. It is most effective when used in confined areas and close to the target. Used to minimize the risks to all parties through pain compliance, temporary discomfort and/or incapacitation of potentially violent or dangerous subjects. The aerosol device is ideal for cell extractions or barricade situations where the use of pyrotechnic, powder, or liquid devices is not practical or desired. The OC and CS combination provide sufficient effects in confined areas of up to 1,500 square feet.
Quantity: 6
Cost: $267
Appropriate Use: Barricaded subject and/or civil unrest.
V. 1032-FLAMELESSTRI-CHAMBERCS
The design of the Tri-Chamber Flameless CS device allows the 13 Updated: 10/16/23
contents to burn within an internal can and disperse the agent safely with reduced risk of fire. The device is designed primarily for indoor tactical situations to detect and/or dislodge a barricaded subject.
This device will deliver approximately .70 oz. of agent during its 20-25 seconds burn time. The Tri-Chamber Flameless device 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 Device 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.
Quantity: 10
Cost: $300
Appropriate Use: Barricaded subject and/or civil unrest.
VI. 1016 - POCKET TACTICAL, CS
A device that is small, lightweight, and easy for officers to carry. If a civil unrest incident requires the use of smoke devices to encourage the movement of a group, the pocket tactical device allows an officer to use only the necessary force by adding the CS irritant to the smoke.
The 0.9 oz. of active agent will burn approximately 20-40 seconds. At

1. 40IV1M LESS LETHAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS:
a.) Description, quantity, capabilities, and purchase cost:
The 40MM less lethal delivery system has been deployed by the Pasadena Police Department for the last 15 years. The 40mm less lethal is a multi-purpose tool that replaced the 12-gauge shotgun beanbag rounds or sock rounds. The 40mm was found to be more accurate, had a higher level of energy transfer on impact than the 12-gauge, less-lethal rounds. The 40mm direct impact sponge round was also more effective on a combative subject yet had a reduced level of injury than that of the beanbag or sock 12-gauge rounds. With the improvement of technology over the years, the less lethal launchers became more versatile with the implementation of the different chemical agents and crowd management rounds designed for use during criminal and/or combative Civil Unrest.
The technology of the 40mm Less Lethal Delivery System has evolved over the years for different applications. The single launcher is the smaller and lightest for everyday patrol use. The double barrel launcher allows for a quick second follow- up deployment if needed and/or the option to use two different types of rounds at the flip of a switch. The multi-launcher is optimal in a Civil Unrest incident where officers may be outnumbered. The multi-launcher allows for up to 6 rounds to be fired before a reload is needed.
