Accept annual report on police military equipment and approve policy changes
In Plain English
California law requires police departments to report annually on military equipment use like armored vehicles and flash-bang devices. The city council previously asked for policy changes including better definitions and criteria for equipment use. If approved, police must expand tracking requirements, though staff warns this creates significant paperwork that could reduce patrol time.
