Subject: Military Equipment Use Policy for the San José Police Department
(A) The military equipment is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.
(B) The proposed military equipment use policy will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties.
(C) If purchasing the equipment, the equipment is reasonably cost effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.
(D) Prior military equipment use complied with the military equipment use policy that was in effect at the time, or if prior uses did not comply with the accompanying military equipment use policy, corrective action has been taken to remedy nonconforming uses and ensure future compliance.
San José Police Department (Department) is bringing forward the recommendations contained in this memorandum to ensure compliance with these provisions of state law.
ANALYSIS
The Department drafted the Military Equipment Guidelines to provide policies and procedures for the funding, approval, acquisition, reporting, and use of military equipment (included as Attachment 1). The document includes the following elements:
• Statutory definitions: Government Code section 7070 (c) sets out definitions of military equipment; these definitions are incorporated into the Military Equipment Guidelines. It is important to note that these definitions include a broad range of equipment, including remotely piloted vehicles (such as bomb disposal robots), various types of motor vehicles, explosive breaching apparatus (used to create an opening through a wall, door or barrier to allow access by a tactical or rescue team), various types of rifles and shotguns, long range acoustical devices (a type of loudspeaker device), and projectile launch platforms, among other equipment.
• Use considerations: Considerations to determine when covered equipment will be acquired and authorized by the Department, including consideration of reasonable alternatives, cost effectiveness, and training requirements. • Transparency requirements: The Military Equipment Guidelines establish ongoing transparency practices to ensure the public can remain informed about the Department’s use of covered equipment. These practices include an annual report, an annual public meeting where the public can discuss and ask questions about the report, and a dedicated page on the Department’s website.
• Policies and Procedures: For each type of equipment in use by the Department, the Military Equipment Guidelines contain detailed descriptions of the purpose and authorized use of the equipment, applicable legal and procedural rules, and training standards.

Subject: Military Equipment Use Policy for the San José Police Department
The Department is committed to continuously improving its operations and aligning with best practices. Where applicable, the Military Equipment Guidelines reflect existing Duty Manual provisions, established through implementation of the Police Reforms Work Plan and the Department’s own proactive efforts, to ensure that equipment is used appropriately. The Department will continue to assess equipment needs and associated policy guidance on an ongoing basis.
Simultaneous to creation of the Military Equipment Guidelines, the Department conducted an inventory of all military equipment possessed as of January 1, 2022 (included as Attachment 2).
This inventory provides equipment descriptions, quantities, capabilities, purchase costs, and ongoing operating costs. Attachment 2 is incorporated by reference in the Military Equipment Guidelines because it addresses, among other matters, the fiscal impact of the military equipment, which is one of the requirements of a military equipment use policy under Government Code section 7070(d)(3). Together, the Military Equipment Guidelines and the inventory provided as Attachment 2 address all the requirements for a military equipment use policy set out in Government Code section 7070(d)(1) – (7).
As part of the approval process for the Military Equipment Guidelines, the Department is requesting authorization to add two new vehicles to the inventory. These vehicles are summarized below; additional information is provided in Attachment 3. The draft Military Equipment Guidelines include detailed guidance on the purpose and authorized uses of these vehicles, which would govern their use should the City Council authorize their purchase.
