Approve policy for police use of military equipment
In Plain English
State law requires cities to create public policies before police can use military-style equipment like armored vehicles or certain weapons. Richmond Police developed Policy 707 to comply with this requirement. If approved, the policy allows specific military equipment purchases only when no civilian alternatives exist and requires annual public reports on equipment use.
