ANNUAL MILITARY

EQUIPMENT USE
REPORT
2022

1 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, by adopting a military equipment use policy. The Santa Clara Police Department sought City Council approval of the Military Equipment Use Policy and introduced an Ordinance approving military equipment funding, acquisition, and use on March 8, 2022, at a regular open meeting and in doing so, met the Use Policy pursuant to Assembly Bill 481 and allowed the Police Department to fund, acquire, and use military equipment per the new policy.

Assembly Bill 481 allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment within its jurisdiction, only if it determines that the military 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.

Assembly Bill 481 requires the publication of the Military Equipment Use Policy and the Annual Military Equipment Use Report on the Department’s website.

In summary, the annual report documents the possession of equipment that the department owns, in some cases for several decades, and was approved for use in May of 2022 by the Santa Clara City Council. Furthermore, it will show that there were no unauthorized uses of the military equipment in 2022, and there were no complaints of unauthorized uses of military equipment either. The Santa Clara Police Department will continue to use the designated military equipment with appropriate consideration to our legal authority as well as civil rights.

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:
(1) A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use.
(2) A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment.

2 (3) The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the military equipment use policy, and any actions taken in response. (4) 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.
(5) If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional military equipment in the next year, the quantity sought for each type of military equipment.
(b) Within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing an annual military equipment report pursuant to this section, the law enforcement agency shall hold at least one well- publicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting, at which the general public may discuss and ask questions regarding the annual military equipment report and the law enforcement agency’s funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment.

In addition to maintaining the highest levels of public safety, the Santa Clara Police Department is committed to transparency, public trust, community partnerships, and compliance with the law. As such, the Department has authored the following Annual Military Equipment Use Report in accordance with annual reporting requirements set forth in California Government Code section 7072.

The Santa Clara Police Department possesses and deploys a wide variety of military equipment to assist in safely achieving the furtherance of its mission statement to “work in partnership with the Community to protect life and property, solve neighborhood problems, and enhance the quality of life in our City.” While the inventory of military equipment varies, the mere possession of the equipment does not warrant its use for every incident.

The Santa Clara Police Department recognizes that critical incidents are unpredictable and can be very dynamic in nature. A variety of equipment options can greatly assist incident commanders, officers, and specialized units in bringing those incidents to a swift resolution, in a safe manner. The use of military equipment is restricted to certain instances and in some cases only by certain units based on training. The use of the Department’s military equipment is continuously evaluated and the use of such equipment by Department personnel is influenced by the totality of the circumstances, public safety, officer safety, civil rights, State law, and information available at the time.

It is incumbent upon incident commanders, supervisors, individual officers, and specialized units to recognize the particular circumstances wherein military equipment should be deployed to enhance the safety of the public and officers, and to bring a critical incident to a safe resolution.

3 This Annual Military Equipment Use Report outlines a summary of military equipment usage guidelines, inventory, fiscal impact, complaints, and reported concerns from March 8, 2022, through December 31, 2022, and in some cases from January 1, 2022, for the purpose of transparency with available information.

5 Introduction
The City of Santa Clara has an estimated population of 128,189 with approximately 44,198 households, among its 19.3 square mile footprint in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Approximately 12,000 businesses call Santa Clara home, including high-tech corporate giants which makes Santa Clara a destination for business travelers from across the globe. In addition, Santa Clara is asset rich, with Santa Clara Convention Center, California’s Great America Theme Park, Mission College, Santa Clara University, Triton Museum of Art, world-class shopping, and Levi’s Stadium, which also makes it a destination for enjoyment.

The volume of calls for service to which the Department responds to on an annual basis reflects a population of that size. In 2022, the Department responded to 44,596 calls requiring an officer response, plus an additional 12,711 self-initiated police calls for service.

Among the 57,307 calls for service, force was used 128 times. Of the force options utilized, military equipment in the form of projectiles were only used during eight (8) of those contacts. These statistics illustrate the relatively few instances (less than 0.22%) of force used by Santa Clara police officers in relation to overall contacts. Moreover, force involving the use of military equipment is a small portion of the overall force used during this time span (6%), and (0.01%) when compared to total contacts.

While the Department’s inventory of military equipment is varied, the mere possession of the equipment does not warrant its use for every incident. The Department recognizes that critical incidents are unpredictable and can be very dynamic in nature. A variety of military equipment options can greatly assist incident commanders, officers, and specific units in bringing those incidents to a swift resolution in a safe manner. The use of military equipment is restricted for use only in certain instances and in some cases only by certain units.

This section outlines the military equipment usage from March 8, 2022, to December 31, 2022, unless otherwise noted. Certain items of military equipment, particularly consumables (i.e., ammunition, diversionary devices, pepper balls, chemical agents, etc.) are used throughout the year on a regular basis for training to maintain proficiency; training usage is not captured in this section. This section only provides data for the operational use of military equipment listed within this Annual Military Equipment Use Report.

6 Outreach and Community Engagement
The Department is committed to continuing to build trust and confidence between the Department and the community we serve. As the Department strives to enhance community relationships and continues to be a progressive leader amongst law enforcement agencies nationwide, we want to ensure the public has access to the way its Police Department operates and engages with the public. The Department regularly utilizes select military equipment, including UAS, Armored Rescue Vehicles, the Mobile Incident Command and Crisis Negotiation Team Vehicles, during outreach and community events, as a means of public awareness, transparency, and education.

Military equipment may also be displayed during community events as a means of providing a safe environment for the public to enjoy all the great amenities the City of Santa Clara has to offer.

Fiscal Year (FY) 2022
July 2021 – June 2022
In Fiscal Year 2021/22, the Department was initially allocated 221 full-time equivalent employees. The City faced a COVID-19-induced General Fund shortfall of $29 million, which resulted in budget reductions in every department to bring the budget into balance. While the adopted budget was $80,454,471, there were ebbs and flows to this amount throughout this Fiscal Year as a result of City Council priorities.

The department’s adopted budget for FY 2021/22 was approximately $80,556,421, approximately 85% of which is allocated for personnel expenses. The portion of the budget allocated for military equipment expenditures represents only a small fraction of the Department’s operating costs. However, the funds spent on military equipment are an integral part of providing the essential resources and material needed to keep the community and officers safe. The significance and enhanced capability that the current

18 military equipment inventory provides is immense and cannot be understated from a public safety perspective.

The following outlines the fiscal impact of military equipment on the annual budget. As evidenced by the chart below and subsequent data tables, military equipment and related costs are nominal as compared to the overall Department budget. Cost breakdowns showcase the individual equipment prices per unit, combined with costs related to training, maintenance, upgrades, other ongoing costs, and source funding:
