Annual Military Equipment Use Reports August 19, 2025 Page 2 In May 2022, the Santa Ana Police Department started tracking and documenting the use of designated military equipment, producing the Annual Military Equipment Use Reports in May 2023, May 2024, and May 2025. While each report was prepared in accordance with AB 481, an administrative oversight resulted in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 reports not being posted online, presented to the City Council, or followed by the required community engagement meetings. Recognizing the oversight, and to meet compliance, the Police Department posted the 2022-23 and 2023-24 reports on the Department's website on March 7, 2025, and presented the reports to the Police Oversight Commission on April 10, 2025. The Police Department completed the 2024-25 Military Equipment Use Report and posted it on the Department's website, https://www.santa-ana.org/police-open- government-and-transparency-initiative/, on July 16, 2025. In addition, the Police Department will hold the required community engagement meeting in the Police Community Room on August 13, 2025. By taking these actions, the Police Department will be in compliance with AB 481 and the City's ordinance. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

SAPD Policy 707 Submitted By: Robert Rodriguez, Police Chief Approved By: Alvaro Nunez, City Manager Exhibit 1 SANTA ANA POLICE DEPARTMENT 31 _ . •� Annual Military Equipment Report May 2022 — May 2023 This report provides the Community with an overview of the Santa Ana Police Department's use of military equipment as defined in Government Code Section 7070. Contents Background 1 Summary of Equipment Use Summary of Outcomes Summary of Complaints_ Internal Audits Fiscal Impact Equipment Inventory Possible Future Purchases Background On September 30, 2021, the California Legislature enacted Assembly Bill (AB) 481. The intent of the legislation was to increase transparency and community involvement in a local law enforcement agency's purchase and use of military equipment, as defined in California Government Code Section 7070. In addition to section 7070, AB 481 also created California Government Code Sections 7071 and 7072. California Government Code Section 7071 requires a law enforcement agency to obtain approval of the governing body, by an ordinance adopting a military equipment use policy at a regular meeting of the governing body. On May 3, 2022, at the regularly schedule City Council meeting, the Santa Ana Police Department presented our Military Equipment Policy (Policy 707) to the Council and Community. At the May 17, 2022 City Council Meeting, the Council adopted the ordinance by a vote of 4 to 2 (1 member absent). Beginning on May 8, 2022, the Police Department began tracking its use of defined military equipment for the purpose of generating an Annual Military Equipment Use Report. The information contained in this report is based on that tracking for the purposes of informing our community regarding why and how we utilized the defined military equipment entrusted to us. This report includes data from May 8, 2022 to May 1, 2023. Summary of Equipment Use During the time frame this report covers, defined military equipment was deployed to field -based incidents a total of twenty-one (21) times. Of the nineteen deployments, ten (10) involved deployments of the Department's Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team, where specific criteria had to be met before the SWAT Team was activated/utilized. Each of the nineteen field deployments involved incidents where the defined equipment provided the community and our officers with a higher level of safety than would have been possible had the equipment not been utilized. For example, during each of the incidents, the suspect(s) involved were either believed to be armed with firearms, in a position of tactical advantage, or both. The chart below depicts each type of defined equipment deployed during the reporting period and the number of times a particular piece of equipment was deployed. While there was a total of nineteen incidents requiring the deployment of defined equipment, several of the incidents required multiple pieces of equipment, which is why the total number indicated in the chart exceeds nineteen. Page 1 Equipment Deployments ❑ Patrol Rifles ■40mm Less -Lethal Launchers ❑ SWAT Rifles ❑ Terradyne Armored Rescue Vehicle ■ BEAR Armored Rescue Vehicle O Diversionary Device ■ Robot ❑ Drone In addition to the deployments described above, the Terradyne Armored Rescue Vehicle and SWAT Team members are frequently requested to attend community events. During this reporting period, the Terradyne was requested and present at twelve (12) community events. Summary of Outcomes During this reporting period, subject(s) were detained and/or arrested in sixteen of the twenty-one incidents. Three incidents resulted in officers unable to locate the subject of the investigation. Of the sixteen incidents where subjects were detained/arrested, three resulted in officers using force to effect the arrest. None of the incidents, where defined equipment was deployed, resulted in the equipment being used as a force option. Summary of Complaints The Santa Ana Police Department did not receive any community complaints regarding the use of defined military equipment during this reporting period. Internal Audits The Santa Ana Police Department is conservative in its deployment of defined military equipment and utilizes multiple layers of approval depending on the circumstances of each incident. The first layer of approval rests with an on -scene supervisor. The second layer of approval must come from the Watch Commander. Any use of SWAT specific defined equipment must be approved by either the SWAT Commander or the Assistant SWAT Commander. Page 2 Following the deployment of defined equipment, the incident is reviewed and evaluated regarding the appropriateness of the equipment use. During this reporting period, each deployment of defined equipment was evaluated and the use was found to be appropriate based on the information supervisors had at the time of the deployment. Fiscal Impact During this reporting period, no additional defined equipment was purchased. The vehicles have on- going maintenance costs, which are detailed in the below equipment inventory section. Additionally, weapons platforms generally only require annual inspection to ensure they are operationally ready for deployment. The annual maintenance cost for weapon systems are worst case scenario annual estimates, should a weapon platform require repair. However, typically weapons platforms do not require repair and simple routine maintenance and cleaning. In the event a piece of defined equipment requires repair, the funds are drawn from the Police Department's annual budget allocation.

If that is the case, the Police Department will solicit community input and seek City Council approval before any purchases are made.
