Military Equipment Funding, Acquisition, and Use Policy

On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 481 to address the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment by law enforcement agencies in California. The San Fernando Police Department does not possess any equipment procured from the military, or the United States Department of Defense Law Enforcement Support Program (also known as the 1028 or 1033 program). Assembly Bill 481 has designated certain equipment as "military equipment," regardless of whether it was procured from the military or not.

As required by State law, below, please find the San Fernando Police Department's Military Equipment Policy, as well as the Annual Reporting:

Public comment on this policy may be sent to Commander CJ Chiasson at CJChiasson@sanfernando.gov.
