Executive Summary
On September 30, 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsom approved Assembly Bill 481
requiring California law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of a Military Equipment Use
Policy by their applicable governing body (City Council) prior to taking certain actions related to
the funding, acquisition, or use of "military equipment".
Assembly Bill 481 allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, and use of
military equipment within its jurisdiction if the equipment meets specified standards. The
Military Equipment Use Policy and an Annual Military Equipment Use Report is subject to
annual review to affirm the criteria outlined in Assembly Bill 481 have been met.
The format of this report was crafted in a manner that conforms to the statutorily required
annual report pursuant to California Government Code section 7072(a) to include the following
information:
1.) A summary of the "military equipment" uses and the purpose;
2.) A summary of any complaints or concerns concerning the "military equipment";
3.) The results of any internal audits, information on any violations, and actions taken in
response;
4.) The total annual cost for each type of equipment;
5.) The quantity possessed of each type of equipment;
6.) The intent to acquire additional equipment and quantity sought.
Unless otherwise noted the funds for the equipment, staff costs, training costs, or costs for the
use of the equipment, is from the approved existing budget. Tuition cost for outside training
courses, even if included in the existing budget, will be noted in the total annual outside training
cost section.
The Campbell Police Department recognizes the public's ongoing interest in how military
equipment is used to protect our community and is committed to maintaining our community's
trust in providing professional and responsive police services. As such, the Campbell Police
Department has authored the following comprehensive Annual Military Equipment Use Report
to remain transparent with our community and in accordance with annual reporting
requirements set forth by applicable California Law.

Military Equipment Report

Introduction
The Campbell Police Department is committed to the protection of lives and property by
working with our community and providing professional and responsive police services. To
accomplish our mission effectively and safely, the Campbell Police Department possesses and
utilizes certain specialized equipment ("military equipment") to safeguard the citizens of
Campbell and protect our first responders. While our inventory of "military equipment" varies,
the mere possession of this equipment does not warrant its use. The merits and a totality of the
circumstances of each unique incident are considered before "military equipment" is utilized in
compliance with department policy and law.
The term "military equipment," as used in Assembly Bill 481, does not necessarily indicate the
equipment is, or has been used, by the military. Many items defined as "military equipment" by
the bill are more often used by law enforcement to preserve life and enhance public and officer
safety while remaining prepared to handle the various lethal and non -lethal challenges facing
our communities. The Campbell Police Department's use of "military equipment" is consistent
with overall best practices employed by police departments throughout the country.
Items used by the Campbell Police Department that are considered "military equipment" under
Assembly Bill 481 include, but are not limited to, emergency response equipment such as
command vehicles and armored rescue vehicles, less -lethal 40mm projectile launchers,
precision weapons such as rifles, unmanned aircraft systems, and other select items. The
continued access to, and use of, this equipment is vital in ensuring our officers have the
appropriate tools necessary to de-escalate situations, preserve life, ensure safety for all people,
and protect civil liberties.
This Annual Military Equipment Use Report outlines a summary of the equipment usage
guidelines, inventory, fiscal impact, complaints, and reported community concerns for calendar
year 2025 (January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025).

The inventory of "military equipment", particularly consumable material (ammunition,
diversionary devices, munitions, etc.) may fluctuate due to a variety of factors including but not
limited to operational usage, operational deterioration, training, maintenance, expiration and
replenishment guidelines.
The following is a list of the various types, descriptions, and guidelines for usage of "military
equipment" currently employed by the Department:

Tear Gas (Category 12)
a. Description, quantity, capabilities, and purchase cost:
Chemical agent munitions, which are commonly referred to as "tear gas," are used by
the Campbell Police Department as a non -lethal tool to disperse rioting suspects and on
barricaded suspects. The Campbell Police Department uses chemical agents which are
used by law enforcement across the United States: CS (2-
Chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile) and OC (Oleoresin Capsicum). CS is an irritating agent
and lachrymator (irritates the eyes and causes tears to flow). CS has been medically
tested in the UK and US, specifically by the U.S. Army. There are no known allergic
reactions to CS. OC was de -regulated in California in 1996, is endorsed by the FBI, and is
available to civilians to legally possess (2.5oz or less). OC is an inflammatory agent which
causes involuntary closure of eyes and respiratory inflammation.
1. Combined Tactical Systems 5230B CS — Pyrotechnic grenade designed for indoor
use delivering a maximum amount of irritant smoke throughout multiple rooms
with minimal fire risk. This device can be launched when utilizing launching cup
with 12 gauge launching cartridge. Quantity: 30
2. Defense Technology Aerosol Grenade Fogger OC 1.3% #56854- 6oz. OC Aerosol

concentration of Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) in a powerful mist. The grenade is
designed for indoor use in confined areas and once deployed, inflames the
mucus membranes and exposed skin. The incapacitating effect of the OC vapor
on the subject is dramatic with minimal decontamination needed. Removing the
subject from the affected area to fresh air will resolve respiratory effects within
minutes. Quantity 5

The equipment, resources, and training outlined in this report allows the Campbell Police
Department to protect our community by enhancing public and officer safety. The use of
"military equipment" aids us in resolving critical incidents safely and effectively. Although
"military equipment" is utilized infrequently, it is crucial that the equipment be readily available
in rapidly evolving and dynamic situations where such equipment can be used to effectively
respond to threats of public safety.
When deciding how "military equipment" is funded, acquired, or used, the Campbell Police
Department considers the public's welfare, safety, and civil liberties. This annual "military
equipment" report reaffirms the department's commitment to providing transparency and
information to our communities and elected officials in addition to ensuring compliance with
the law.
