Upon impacting the barrier, the nose cone ruptures and instantaneously delivers a small chemical payload inside of a structure or vehicle. In a tactical deployment situation, the 40mm Ferret is primarily used to dislodge barricaded subjects from confined areas. Its purpose is to minimize the risks to all parties through pain compliance, temporary discomfort, and/or incapacitation of potentially violent or dangerous subjects. The lifespan is 5 years from the manufacture date. vi. DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY, 40MM WOOD BATON #6098, cost: $27.05. The munition incorporates a 4.8-inch casing that contains three (3) wood projectiles.

These munitions are generally deployed in low trajectories or skip -fired in the general direction (non -target specific). It is most suitable at medium to extended ranges of fire, approximately 30 to 60 feet. Consideration for selecting shot placement should include the level of threat, target distance, size, and clothing. The lifespan is 5 years from the manufacture date. vii. DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY, 40MM EXTENDED RANGE DIRECT IMPACT- MARKING #6326, cost: $30.30.

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 Page 7 of 19 ,NK4, T a 0011 WIQ Attachment "A" 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 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. a. Purpose To limit the escalation of conflict where employment of lethal force is prohibited or undesirable. b.

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 miliitary 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. 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. Page 2 of 8 Pending City Council Approval _ r `ORIGINALC7 Bakersfield Police Department Military Equipment Annual Report Robots (Unmanned, Remotely Piloted, Powered Ground Vehicles) The Bakersfield Police Department currently has seven (7) unmanned ground vehicles (robots), but one (1) is obsolete or damaged to the point they are no longer used. This equipment is utilized by the Bakersfield Police Department Bomb Squad and Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team to remotely gain visual/audio data, carry equipment, open doors, facilitate disposal of hazardous devices, and clear buildings without exposing officers to hazardous situations. They may be deployed during high -risk situations such as searches for wanted subjects, barricaded subjects, and hostage rescues. They may also be used to inspect hazardous materials, possible explosive devices, and other hazardous situations. • Equipment Costs o One of our robots, the Remotec (large Bomb Robot) is aging, and parts are becoming obsolete. There will be a cost of $201,191 to modernize the robot to the current version which allows for updated features and capabilities, extending the service life, and minimizing maintenance needs. This will be modernized during the FY 24-25 budget cycle and a large portion of the cost will be paid for using Jag Byrne Grant money. o There were no training costs as the training for this equipment is incorporated into existing Bomb Squad and SWAT team training. • The robots are primarily maintained and used by the Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit (EOD or aka Bomb Squad). EOD was called out 6 times to use their robot for a tactical situation. EOD also provided 27 demonstrations of their robots for the public. • There were no complaints received regarding the use of this equipment. • There were no discoveries of any inappropriate use of this equipment. • The Bakersfield Police Department intends to continue participating in the Law Enforcement military equipment surplus "1033 Program" and specifically seek out additional military surplus robots to improve the existing inventory utilized by the Bakersfield Police Department Bomb Squad. Military surplus items, such as unmanned, remotely piloted, powered ground vehicles, are provided for law enforcement at no cost to our agency.
