ANTIOCH POLICE DEPARTMENT
Brian Addington, Interim Chief of Police
2023 ANNUAL MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE REPORT
Introduction
On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved Assembly Bill 481 (codified
as Chapter 12.8 of the California Government Code) requiring law enforcement agencies to have a
military equipment use policy approved by the City Council prior to requesting, seeking funding,
acquiring or using items that it defined as military equipment. Assembly Bill 481 allows the governing
body to approve the policy within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets
specified standards.
On May 24, 2022, the Antioch City Council approved Ordinance 2213-C-S, approving Antioch Police
Department Policy #706: Military Equipment Use Policy. On May 23, 2023, the Antioch City Council
accepted the APD Military Equipment Report for 2022 and approved the continued use of that
equipment.
As required by Assembly Bill 481 and the Ordinance, annually, the Antioch Police Department must
prepare a report on the use of each type of military equipment approved in the Policy over the last
year. Subsequently, the City Council must then review the Ordinance, Policy and Annual Report, and
determine whether the Department’s use of the defined military equipment in the past year complied
with the Policy, and whether to continue the Ordinance and Policy, take action (by ordinance) to
modify the Policy or repeal the Ordinance.
As the Policy outlines, the Antioch Police Department retains and employs limited equipment that falls
under this legislation and subsequent law to safeguard its community. Antioch Police Department
officers, certified instructional staff, and specialized units receive training throughout the year on the
use of this equipment approved under the Policy.
This annual report outlines the Antioch Police Department’s military equipment inventory and usage
and community complaints over the use of military equipment from January 1, 2023, through
December 31, 2023. It also outlines the proposed purchase of new and/or replacement equipment
during 2024. In the future, the Department will submit its Military Equipment Annual Report to the City
Council in May of each year in compliance with AB481.
Antioch Police Department Military Use Policy (706)
Antioch Police Department’s Military Use Policy (706) requires the Police Department to present an
annual report to the City Council. The annual report, as mandated by Government Code sections
7071 & 7072, requires the police department to present the following:
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.

APD Case # 23-1863
March 15, 2023
Summary of Incident: The Antioch Police Department SWAT Team served an arrest and search
warrant related to an armed robbery and carjacking investigation.
Type of Military Equipment Used: Armored Rescue Vehicle, Unmanned Aerial Systems, and Mobile
Command Center. Precision Rifles and appropriate ammunition were deployed, but not fired during
this operation. Additionally, noise and flash distraction devices were deployed during this operation.
APD Case # 23-6185
August 15, 2023
Summary of Incident: Officers responded to a domestic violence incident where a man was reported
to be armed with a firearm. The man was uncooperative and would not comply with orders to get on
the ground. Officers feared he was armed with a firearm, so an officer deployed a less-lethal kinetic
energy projectile that shot a sponge round at the man’s abdomen. The sponge round hit the man and
had no effect. The officer fired a second CS sponge round and again struck the man in the abdomen,
prompting him to comply. No firearm was located.
In addition to the two incidents listed above, officers used Unmanned Aerial Systems (drones)
numerous times on various calls throughout the year. Usage ranged from crime mapping, area
checks, locating suspects, victims, witnesses, and lost individuals to checking and clearing large
spaces and closed spaces and checking areas over the city’s waterways. The flight time related to
use was approximately 44 hours.

Hello, my name is Volita Edmond and unfortunately on Saturday my family had to call the crisis hotline for
my adult son who was experiencing a severe mental health crisis. We reside in Antioch and some
wonderful God sent young men from your team came to my home to help assist with my son.
I would like your team to know that Mr. William Tate & Mr. Israel Muhyee were very knowledgeable,
kind, and assuring. During this difficult time while waiting for EMT both young men explained in detail the
next steps of what was going to happen. They even tried talking to my son.
We had called another crisis line a few weeks back and we didn’t get the help that your team provided.
We were left hopeless. We lost faith! Mr. Tate & Mr. Muhyee restored the faith that we lost! Both these
young men were God sent!
I was lost! I cried! The knowledge and love that both these men gave I will never forget! While waiting for
EMT they told us what my son was experiencing! That gave us a better insight to understanding his
behavior. They also didn’t look at us differently because of the situation at hand! They provide loving and
kind words when our tears started to flow.
I am forever thankful for them! I just wanted to send this email so that the recognition doesn’t go
unnoticed. I would like to thank Felton Institution for having a crisis line with a staff like such!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
We are the Community,
Servicing the Community!
