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 thereafter such approval must be renewed annually; 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 City Council previously approved Policy 709 as set forth in
Resolution No. 194-2022, and the City Council desires to renew such approval via
this Resolution; 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, the Bakersfield Police Department has provided an updated
annual report in accordance with Government Code section 7072, which is also
�AK�ac,

incorporated into the Department's Policy and is hereby received and approved;
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

Bakersfield Police Department Military Equipment Annual Report
California Assembly Bill No. 481 (AB 481) established legislative intent to increase public
transparency by how California law enforcement agencies fund, acquire, and use "military
equipment." In 2022, the Bakersfield Police Department established Policy 791 Military
Equipment Use Policy which covers guidelines for the approval, acquisition, and reporting
requirements of military equipment as defined by Government Code §§ 7070, 7071, and 7072.
The term "military equipment" does not necessarily indicate equipment used by the military.
California Government Code 7070, section (c), specifies what defines "military equipment" and
provides a list of items covered by AB 481. The majority of the equipment defined in this
Government Code section and possessed by the Bakersfield Police Department is employed by
most law enforcement agencies across the country to enhance citizen and officer safety.
California Government Code 7072 requires the Bakersfield Police Department to submit an
annual military equipment report to the Bakersfield City Council by the end of each year for as
long as the military equipment is available for use.
The Bakersfield Police Department shall make each annual military equipment report publicly
available on the department website for as long as the military equipment is available for use
and hold a community engagement meeting within 30 days of posting the report to the
department website. The report shall include the following information for the immediately
preceding calendar year:
1. A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use.
2. A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment.
3. The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the military
equipment use policy, and any actions taken in response.
4. The total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition,
personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing
costs, and from what source funds will be provided for the military equipment in the
calendar year following submission of the annual military equipment report.
5. The quantity possessed for each type of military equipment.
6. If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional military equipment in the
next year, the quantity sought for each type of military equipment.
This report shall cover the period from December 1, 2023, through December 1, 2024.

xiii. 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 and, 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
directly 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

result in minor injuries. The 40mm Rubber Baton Round is
not recommended to be used as a 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 the manufacture
date.

is a .50 BMG (12.7X99mm NATO) multi -purpose anti -materiel armor -
piercing ammunition projectile produced by Nammo under the model
name NM140 MP. The multipurpose concept developed by Raufoss

compound to the intended target being engaged. This ensures
effective penetration against heavily armored vehicles, barricaded
structures, and large engines with a high degree of accuracy.
Identification of this round is by observing its green and white tip.
