ANNUAL MILITARY EQUIPMENT REPORT
Background
On September 30, 2021, the California Legislature enacted Assembly Bill (AB) 481. The legislation intended to increase transparency and community involvement in a local law enforcement agency’s purchase and use of military equipment, as defined in California Government Code Section 7070. In addition to section 7070, AB 481 created California Government Code Sections 7071 and 7072.
California Government Code Section 7071 requires a law enforcement agency to obtain the governing body's approval by an ordinance adopting a military equipment use policy at a regular meeting of the governing body. On May 3, 2022, at the regularly scheduled City Council meeting, the Santa Ana Police Department presented our Military Equipment Policy (Policy 707) to the Council and Community. At the May 17, 2022, City Council Meeting, the Council adopted the ordinance by a vote of 4 to 2 (1 member absent).
Beginning on May 8, 2022, the Police Department began tracking its use of defined military equipment to generate an Annual Military Equipment Use Report. The information in this report is intended to inform our community about why and how we used the designated military equipment entrusted to us. This report includes data from May 1, 2025, to April 30, 2026.
Summary of Equipment Use
During the time frame of this report, defined military equipment was deployed to field-based incidents thirty-six (36) times and to community events eleven (11) times. Of the thirty-six deployments, twenty-one (21) involved the Department’s Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team, where specific criteria had to be met before the SWAT Team was activated/utilized.
Each of the thirty-six field deployments involved incidents where the defined equipment provided the community and our officers with a higher level of safety than would have been possible had the equipment not been utilized. For example, during each incident, the suspect(s) were believed to be either armed, in a position of tactical advantage, or both. The chart below illustrates the types of defined equipment deployed during the reporting period, along with the frequency of deployment for each piece of equipment. While a total of thirty-six incidents required the deployment of defined equipment, several required multiple pieces of equipment, which is why the total indicated in the chart exceeds thirty-six.
ANNUAL MILITARY EQUIPMENT REPORT
In addition to the deployments described above, the Terradyne A rmored Rescue Vehicle and SWAT Team members are frequently requested to attend community events. During this reporting period, the Terradyne was requested and present at eleven (11) community events.
Summary of Outcomes
During this reporting period, subjects were detained and/or arrested in nineteen (19) of the thirty-six (36) incidents. Nine (9) incidents resulted in officers being unable to locate the subject of the investigation. Of the nineteen incidents where subjects were detained or arrested, seven (7) involved officers using specified equipment as a less-lethal force option to de-escalate the situation and effect the arrest. None of the incidents involving the deployment of specified equipment resulted in an officer-involved shooting or other fatality.

ANNUAL MILITARY EQUIPMENT REPORT
Summary of Complaints
The Santa Ana Police Department received two community complaints directly related to the use of defined military equipment during this reporting period.
Annual Equipment Evaluation
The Police Department reviews all military equipment annually to ensure the equipment’s retention, use, and future potential acquisitions comply with Government Code § 7070, which states the equipment must meet the following criteria:
1. The military equipment is necessary because there are no reasonable alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety. The Department reaffirmed the military equipment listed in this report, and Department Policy 707 is necessary, and there are no reasonable alternatives that can achieve the same objective. Any identified alternatives also meet the legislative criteria for military equipment.
2. The Military Equipment Policy (#707) safeguards the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties. The Department’s Military Equipment Policy was reviewed by the Director of the Police Oversight Commission and subsequently revised on May 14, 2026. The revisions resulted in a more refined document that provided greater clarity to department personnel and the public.
3. The equipment is reasonably cost-effective compared with available alternatives that achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety. Except for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs), there are no reasonable alternatives to the equipment listed in this report and in Department Policy 707. Before engaging in the procurement process for the UASs, the Department conducted a cost analysis comparing the UASs with the Orange County Sheriff’s helicopter contract. That analysis determined that using UASs over three years will result in 61% savings compared with a helicopter.
4. Prior military equipment uses complied with the military equipment use policy that was in effect at the time. During this reporting period, the Department determined there were no sustained violations of the Military Equipment Policy. However, as noted above, the Department received two complaints regarding the use of military equipment. One investigation revealed department personnel did not violate policy. The second complaint is currently under investigation, with litigation pending.
Internal Audits
The Santa Ana Police Department is conservative in its use of defined military equipment and employs multiple layers of approval based on the circumstances of each incident. The first layer of
ANNUAL MILITARY EQUIPMENT REPORT
approval rests with an on-scene supervisor. The second layer of approval must come from the Watch Commander. Any SWAT-specific defined equipment must be approved by either the SWAT Commander or the Assistant SWAT Commander.
Following deployment of the defined equipment, incidents are reviewed to evaluate the appropriateness of the equipment used.
Fiscal Impact
New Purchases
During this reporting period, the Department requested and was approved to purchase Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs), commonly known as drones. While there were no expenditures on the UASs during this reporting period, the total costs for the UASs, docking stations, and data over three years will be $682,900.
Annual Maintenance
Vehicles and equipment have ongoing maintenance costs, detailed in the equipment inventory section below. Weapons platforms typically require annual inspections to ensure they are operationally ready for deployment. The annual maintenance costs for weapon systems and vehicles are worst- case estimates of the costs when a weapon platform or vehicle requires repair. Typically, weapons platforms and vehicles do not require repair beyond routine maintenance, which is estimated at $51,890.
If a piece of defined equipment requires repair, the funds are allocated from the Police Department’s annual budget.
Training Costs
The Police Department trains its personnel in the use of specified equipment during the normal course and scope of their employment. The training is incorporated into bi-annual, department-wide training, resulting in no additional personnel costs. Additionally, SWAT Team members receive monthly training on SWAT training days. Again, this is part of a regularly scheduled training day for the SWAT Team members, at no additional cost to the Department or community.
While the Department's internal training incurs no additional expenditure, department trainers must attend POST-approved instructor-level courses to meet the California Police Officers Standards and Training (POST) guidelines. The required courses are: Patrol Rifle Instructor, Less-Lethal Instructor, Chemical Agent Instructor, and Diversionary Device Instructor. During this reporting period, the Department sent two members to Chemical Agent Instructor, four to Less-Lethal Instructor, and one to Diversionary Device Instructor. The total cost of the training was $4,218.
