MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE REPORT 2022 <br /> Definitions <br /> Under California Assembly Bill 481, the following definitions apply only to the Pleasanton Police <br /> Department's current military equipment inventory and potential military equipment <br /> acquisitions for operational needs. For a more detailed list of "military equipment" definitions, <br /> refer to California Government Code sections 7070(c)(1) through (16). <br /> MILITARY EQUIPMENT DEFINITIONS: <br /> The following equipment is defined in AB 481 and an overview of if and how it is used by the <br /> Pleasanton Police Department: <br /> "Unmanned, remotely piloted,powered aerial or ground vehicles" <br /> The Pleasanton Police Department owns two remotely operated robots with cameras mounted on <br /> them. They are used to search buildings during high-risk searches so that suspects can be identified <br /> and located without placing officers into dangerous or confrontational situations.These tools prevent <br /> injury to officers, suspects, and the public.They are only used during authorized searches considered <br /> to be high risk. <br /> The Pleasanton Police Department has utilized the Alameda County Explosive Ordinance Disposal <br /> (EOD) Team (colloquially called "the bomb squad") for the investigation of suspicious or potentially <br /> explosive devices. The EOD Team utilizes remotely operated robots specifically built for explosive <br /> detection and removal. <br /> An increasingly common request by the Police Department is for the use of aerial drones operated <br /> by the Alameda County Sheriff's Office.Alameda County drones have been used on search and rescue <br /> operations, warrant service operations, and during searches for outstanding suspects of crimes. <br /> These are strictly surveillance drones and are not weaponized. When a suspect is believed to be <br /> hiding inside a building, drones can do preliminary interior searches without sending officers inside. <br /> Drones are more capable of navigating cluttered areas than ground-based robots. This dramatically <br /> increases the safety of officers and suspects by reducing the likelihood of confrontation. <br /> "Mine-resistant ambush-protected(MRAP)vehicles or armored personnel carriers. However,police <br /> versions of standard consumer vehicles are specifically excluded." <br /> An MRAP is a specifically designed military vehicle not utilized by the Pleasanton Police Department. <br /> The Police Department does operate an Armored Rescue Vehicle (ARV) built specifically for use by <br /> first responders. It offers ballistic protection in emergencies where an armed encounter is likely. The <br /> ARV is used to evacuate citizens from an area where a threat from an armed suspect exists. The ARV <br /> has never been deployed or used during a crowd control event such as a protest or first amendment <br /> gathering. This is not its purpose. Because the ARV is a modified consumer vehicle, there is debate <br /> about whether it qualifies under this section. The ARV has been modified to allow a breaching ram <br /> to be mounted on its front. <br /> 6 <br />
