A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF
BAKERSFIELD APPROVING THE BAKERSFIELD POLICE
DEPARTMENT'S MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE POLICY AND
AUTHORIZING THE FUNDING, ACQUISITION, AND USE OF
EQUIPMENT PURSUANT TO THE POLICY.
WHEREAS, on September 30, 2021 the Governor approved Assembly Bill No.
481 which requires, among other things, that local law enforcement agencies
maintain a "military equipment use policy" (hereafter, the "Policy") governing the
purposes and authorized uses for which the agency proposes to use certain
"military equipment," as broadly defined in the new law; and
WHEREAS, the Policy must be approved by the governing body of the
agency before a law enforcement agency may request, seek funds for, acquire,
use, or collaborate with other agencies in the deployment of military equipment;
and
WHEREAS, the new State law definition of "military equipment" broadly
encompasses a wide variety of types of equipment not previously considered
military in nature, making it particularly difficult to inventory all types of equipment
that may now or in the future be in use by the Department; and
WHEREAS, the Bakersfield Police Department has therefore developed a
Policy (currently identified as Policy 709) in accordance with new State law that,
among other things, includes a broad description of each type of equipment
sought or used, their capabilities, purchase cost and life span, as well as legal,
procedural, and training requirements for officers' use of the equipment; and
WHEREAS, the Bakersfield Police Department has successfully utilized, and
desires to continue to utilize, the equipment identified in the Policy for the purpose
of increasing the safety of our community and our officers, while reducing the
likelihood of death and injury; and
WHEREAS, occasionally the Bakersfield Police Department also collaborates
with other law enforcement agencies, including but not limited to the Kern
County Sheriff's Office, in the deployment of military equipment when available
and necessary to provide effective and efficient law enforcement response to
public safety emergencies, which further enhances the public safety of the
community; and

WHEREAS, the City Council therefore finds that the Department's acquisition
and use of the equipment, including equipment provided or shared by other law
enforcement agencies, is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative
that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety; and
WHEREAS, the Department's Policy governing use of the equipment will
safeguard the public's welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties; and
WHEREAS, the types of equipment identified in the policy are approved for
purchase as reasonably cost effective compared to available alternatives that
can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety; and
WHEREAS, the Department's prior use of the equipment was consistent with
Department policies in effect at the time of use and moving forward the Policy
will govern all continuing and future uses of military equipment, and therefore the
Policy adequately ensures future compliance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Bakersfield
as follows:
1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by
reference and shall constitute the City Council's findings in support of
approval as set forth in Government Code section 7071.

enforcement agency's governing body may be utilized by the

specific). It is most suitable at medium to extended ranges of
fire, approximately 30 to 60 feet. Consideration for selecting
shot placement should include level of threat, target
distance, size and clothing. The lifespan is 5 years from

shell and utilizes black powder as the propellant. It is
designed to deliver 4 separate sub -munitions that function
individually once the round is discharged. The discharge time
is 10 — 25 seconds with a maximum range of 80 —100 yards.
The round may be fired in the air at an angle of approximately
25-30 degrees to achieve maximum stand-off distance or
can be skip fired into the target area from lesser distances.
The lifespan is 5 years from manufacture date.
ix. DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY, SKAT SHELL 40MM MULTIPLE
PROJECTILE ROUND, CS #6172, cost: $40.05, quantity 40.

x. DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY, 40MM MULTIPLE
PROJECTILE ROUND, #6064, cost: $28.10, quantity 40.
The 40mm Rubber Baton incorporates a 4.8-inch casing that
contains three (3) rubber projectiles. The 40mm utilizes
smokeless powder as the propellant, therefore has more
consistent velocities and tighter projectile spreads than its
black powder counterpart. The 40mm Rubber Baton Round
is most widely used as a crowd management tool by Law
Enforcement and Corrections. The 40mm Rubber Baton
Round is generally deployed in low trajectories or skip fired
in the general direction (non -target specific) of the intended
targets, administering a means of pain compliance over
greater distances than most of its counterparts. The 40mm
Rubber Baton Round is intended to be skip fired, but may be
direct fired at the discretion of the operator. When used in
either manner, the operator should be adequately trained in
the use of Less Lethal Impact Munitions and have a thorough
understanding of the round and considerations of selecting
shot placement such as level of threat, target distance, size,
and clothing. As a pain compliance round for crowd control,
it is most suitable at medium to extended ranges of fire,
approximately 30 to 60 feet. Inside of 30 feet, this round may

LORIGiNAL
Attachment "A"
result in minor injuries. The 40mm Rubber Baton Round is
not recommended to be used as dynamic direct fire, single
subject, high energy round due to the density, weight, and
velocity of the projectiles. The close deployment ranges
usually necessary for the appropriate transfer of energy in
single subject acquisition would likely result in serious injury
or death. The smokeless propellant utilized in the 40mm
Rubber Baton round results in less smoke and may be more
suitable for indoor operations than its counterpart utilizing
black powder. The lifespan is 5 years from manufacture date.
