Appendix C: Response to Sacramento Community Police Review Commission Questions
Appendix C: Response to Sacramento Community Police Review Commission Questions
On August 28th of 2024, during the adoption of the 2024 Annual Military Equipment Use Report (AMEUR), members of the Sacramento City Council directed the Sacramento Police Department to address questions from the Sacramento Community Police Review Commission (SCPRC). The Sacramento Police Department is prepared to answer each question as it pertains to proposed acquisitions of items of military equipment within their respective category.
Category 1: Robots and Uncrewed Aerial Systems
Question #1:
What situations is the requested equipment necessary for safeguarding the safety of both officers and members of the public? How will its deployment or use accomplish this objective? SPD Response:
Category 1 equipment is used in accordance with General Order 525.09 (Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS)). General Order 525.09 states “It shall be the policy of the Sacramento Police Department to utilize Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) for official law enforcement purposes to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of public safety efforts in a manner that safeguards the privacy of our community. Safety and privacy shall be the primary concern in each and every operation. Use of a UAS will be in strict accordance with state and federal laws and in compliance with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and city regulations. For the purposes of this order, the designee for the chief of police shall be either a lieutenant assigned to the Metro Division or the Metro Division Captain.”
Question #2:
Why is this equipment necessary to purchase within the current fiscal year? How many times was this type of equipment used within most recent annual reporting period? SPD Response: The proposed acquisitions serve to replace items that have reached or exceeded their service life. Some of the proposed items contain updated technology that allow them to function for longer durations, with enhanced capabilities allowing SPD to better serve the public.
Category 1 items were utilized 578 times during the current reporting period of May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2025.
Question #3:
What, if any, reasonable alternatives to this equipment were explored that may achieve the same objective of both officer and civilian safety? What were the costs compared with the requested equipment? SPD Response:
Category 1 systems are constantly improving and growing more technologically advanced. In coordination with department subject matter experts and best practices, the SPD continuously evaluates available Category 1 systems available to purchase from a variety of vendors. The items proposed in this year’s AMEUR represent items the SPD has determined to be capable of effectively fulfilling the authorized deployment situations outlined in General Order 525.09.
Appendix C: Response to Sacramento Community Police Review Commission Questions
The annual cost for Category 1 systems can be seen in the AMEUR (Category 1) along with a breakdown of the initial cost, current cost and how many proposed acquisitions there were of each item.
Question #4:
What Police Department policies govern the deployment or use of the requested equipment? How do these policies serve to safeguard the public’s civil rights and civil liberties from potential misuses of the equipment?
SPD Response:
Deployment of Category 1 items are in accordance with General Order 410.06 (Military Equipment Use) and General Order 525.09 (Uncrewed Aerial Systems). Per General Order 410.06 “It shall be the policy of the SPD to utilize military equipment to ensure the full protection of the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties. All military equipment shall be used in accordance with this order and other associated SPD orders and manuals that provide greater detail of authorized uses of department military equipment.” Per General Order 525.09, “It shall be the policy of the Sacramento Police Department to utilize Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) for official law enforcement purposes to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of public safety efforts in a manner that safeguards the privacy of our community. Safety and privacy shall be the primary concern in each and every operation. Use of a UAS will be in strict accordance with state and federal laws and in compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and city regulations.” Question #5:
What (if any) complaints or misuses related to the requested type of military equipment have been reported to the Police Department or the Office of Public Safety and Accountability? Is there any pending litigation that has named the Police Department concerning the misuse of this equipment? SPD Response:
SPD received two (2) complaints pertaining to the use of this category of equipment (See 2024-2025 AMEUR, Audits and Inspection). Requests regarding pending litigation regarding the Police Department and any misuses of this equipment can be made to the Sacramento City Attorney’s Office.
Question #6:
In response to sustained complaints or litigation settlements, what changes, if any, were made in Department policies to prevent misuse? How will these changes ensure future compliance? SPD Response:
SPD cannot comment on sustained complaints or litigation settlements. Any additional requests or details regarding sustained complaints or litigation settlements should be made to the Sacramento City Attorney’s Office. The SPD is continually updating its policies and inspections related to MEU in accordance with state law and best practice. See the City Auditors’ recommendations in their May 2025 report on SPD’s military equipment use policy and inventory practices and SPD’s response.
Category 7: Explosive Breaching Apparatuses
Question #1: What situations is the requested equipment necessary for safeguarding the safety of both officers and members of the public? How will its deployment or use accomplish this objective? Appendix C: Response to Sacramento Community Police Review Commission Questions
SPD Response:
Category 7 equipment is utilized for explosive breaching by the departments EOD and SWAT team during critical incidents, and for demolition of other dangerous explosives encountered during EOD call-outs in accordance with department General Orders 580.15 (Special Weapons and Tactics), Reference Manual 532.16 (Bomb Squad Manual), and Reference Manual 532.08 (SPD Hostage Manual)
Question #2: Why is this equipment necessary to purchase within the current fiscal year? How many times was this type of equipment used within most recent annual reporting period? SPD Response:
Many of the proposed acquisitions serve to replace items that have been depleted during training.
SPD is endeavoring to utilize new models of explosive breaching apparatuses in order to further ensure public and officer safety.
Category 7 items were not utilized during the 2025 AMEUR period.
Question #3: What, if any, reasonable alternatives to this equipment were explored that may achieve the same objective of both officer and civilian safety? What were the costs compared with the requested equipment?

The proposed acquisitions allow SPD to remain in compliance with the national and regional standards for this equipment type use.
Question #4: What Police Department policies govern the deployment or use of the requested equipment? How do these policies serve to safeguard the public’s civil rights and civil liberties from potential misuses of the equipment?
SPD Response:
Deployment of Category 1 items is in accordance with General Order 410.06 (Military Equipment Use) and General Order 580.15 (Special Weapons and Tactics).

SPD Hostage Manual (RM 532.08), “It is the policy of the Sacramento Police Department to maintain training, policy, and procedure to ensure hostage incidents are handled in a safe and professional manner. Our goal is to save the lives of officers, citizens and suspects involved in these incidents.
Additionally, our goal is to minimize the impact these incidents have on the community. With periodic training and reference to this manual, hostage incidents should be easier to control.” Appendix C: Response to Sacramento Community Police Review Commission Questions

SPD continues to evaluate its training in the use of firearms and the associated financial costs associated with ammunition consumption. POST mandated training cycles and industry standards dictate a large portion of the annual consumption of ammunition.
SPD General Order 580.02 states, “The Sacramento Police Department (SPD) values the sanctity of human life and the freedoms guaranteed by the United States and California constitutions. Use of force (UOF) by peace officers is of important concern to the community. The role of law enforcement is to safeguard life, dignity, and liberty of all persons, without prejudice to anyone. Peace officers shall carry out duties, including UOF, in a manner that is fair and unbiased. This policy will be regularly reviewed and updated by the Professional Standards Division to reflect developing practices and procedures. It is the policy of the Department that a peace officer is justified in using deadly force upon another person only as a last resort when reasonable alternatives have been exhausted or are not feasible and the officer reasonably believes, based on the totality of the circumstances, that such force is necessary.”
Question #2: Why is this equipment necessary to purchase within the current fiscal year? How many times was this type of equipment used within most recent annual reporting period? SPD Response:
Many of the proposed acquisitions serve to replace items that have been depleted during training.
No new makes or models are proposed for acquisition.
Category 10 items were not utilized during the current reporting period of May 1, 2024, to April 30, 2025.

The items proposed in this year’s AMEUR represent items the SPD has determined to be capable of effectively fulfilling the authorized deployment situations outlined in General Orders 580.02 (Use of Force) and 580.04 (Firearms).
Question #4: What Police Department policies govern the deployment or use of the requested equipment? How do these policies serve to safeguard the public’s civil rights and civil liberties from potential misuses of the equipment?
SPD Response:
SPD General Order 580.02 (Use of Force) and 580.04 (Firearms) pertain directly to these proposed items of acquisition. For further detail, please reference the response to question #1.
Question #5: What (if any) complaints or misuses related to the requested type of military equipment have been reported to the Police Department or the Office of Public Safety and Accountability? Is there any pending litigation that has named the Police Department concerning the misuse of this equipment? SPD Response:
SPD received no complaints pertaining to the use of this category of equipment (See 2025 AMEUR, Audits and Inspection). SPD cannot comment on pending litigation. Any additional requests or details should be made of the Sacramento City Attorney’s Office.
Question #6: In response to sustained complaints or litigation settlements, what changes, if any, were made in Department policies to prevent misuse? How will these changes ensure future compliance? SPD Response:
SPD cannot comment on sustained complaints or litigation settlements. Any additional requests or details should be made of the Sacramento City Attorney’s Office.
