BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed into law seven major peace officer reform bills, including Assembly Bill 481. AB 481 was authored by Assemblymember David Chieu (D -San Francisco) to address the funding, acquisition, and use of items lawmakers deemed to be considered "military equipment." This bill requires law enforcement agencies, including the Lodi Police Department, "to obtain approval of the applicable governing body, by the adoption of a military equipment use policy, as specified, by ordinance at a regular meeting held pursuant to specified open meeting laws, prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined." Furthermore, AB 481 requires similar approval for the continued use of "military equipment" acquired by the Lodi Police Department prior to January 1, 2022, and allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards. AB 481 Definition of Military Equipment (Government Code 7070) The Assembly Bill has created Government Code 7070 to designate the following 15 categories of items as military equipment: • Category 1: Unmanned, remotely piloted, powered aerial or ground vehicles Category 2: Mine -resistant ambush -protected vehicles or armored personnel carriers • Category 3: High mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWV), two -and -one -half -ton trucks, five - ton trucks, or wheeled vehicles that have a breaching or entry apparatus attached APPROVED: Steve schwabauer Stephen Schwabauer, City Manager Public Hearing to Consider Introducing an Ordinance Amending Lodi Municipal Code Article 2— Administration and Personnel —by Adding Chapter 2.26, Military Use Policy, to Provide for the Lodi Police Department's Adoption of a Military Use Policy in Accordance with AB 481 May 18, 2022 Page 3 • Category 4: Tracked armored vehicles that provide ballistic protection to their occupants • Category 5: Command and control vehicles that are either built or modified to facilitate the operational control and direction of public safety units • Category 6: Weaponized aircraft, vessels, or vehicles of any kind • Category 7: Battering rams, slugs, and breaching apparatuses that are explosive in nature • Category 8: Firearms and ammunition of .50 caliber or greater, excluding standard -issue shotguns and standard -issue shotgun ammunition • Category 9: Specialized firearms and ammunition of less than .50 caliber, including firearms and accessories identified as assault weapons in Penal Code § 30510 and Penal Code §30515, with the exception of standard -issue handguns • Category 10: Any firearm or firearm accessory that is designed to launch explosive projectiles • Category 11: Noise -flash diversionary devices and explosive breaching tools • Category 12: Munitions containing tear gas or OC, excluding standard, service -issued handheld pepper spray • Category 13: TASERO Shockwave, microwave weapons, water cannons, and long-range acoustic devices • Category 14: Kinetic energy weapons and munitions • Category 15: Any other equipment as determined by a governing body or a state agency to require additional oversight The Lodi Police Department is in current possession of items in Categories 1, 2, 5, 9, 11, 12, and 14 from the above list.
