DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department issues the Remington 870 Shotgun and the Defense
Technology's 40mm Less Lethal Launcher to each patrol vehicle, assigned to Field Operations.
The firearms are essential tools utilized by trained law enforcement officers, to enhance their
effectiveness while protecting the community as well as themselves in high risk patrol
encounters.
The current department issued shotguns and less lethal launchers have been in service for over
20 years and have reached their end of service life. Due to the advances in technology,
Remington has produced a new model Police Service Shotgun that provides a more ergonomic
weapon platform, which is better suited for all officers who vary in size and stature. The current
Less Lethal launcher is the Defense Technologies 40mm Less Lethal Launcher, which is a tool
used to deliver "Less than Lethal Force" on combative suspects. Research and testing by the
department's range master and training staff, have found that the Defense Technologies 40mm
Less Lethal launcher model #1425 to be the operative replacement system. This purchase will

replace 85 shotguns and 75 less lethal launchers along with magazines, rifle optics, slings and
carriers for the firearms, appropriately outfitting all 85 of the department's patrol vehicles.
In addition, Adamson Police Products provides flares and various police recruit supplies for the
Police Department. The purchase of the less lethal launchers, when added to the vendor's fiscal
purchases, will exceed the $25,000 aggregate limit. In order to continue making these purchases
throughout the balance of the fiscal year, staff recommends increasing the current blanket order
contract in an additional amount of $20,000.
