2024 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 September 10, 2024, the Antioch City
Council accepted the APD Military Equipment Report for 2023 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, 2024, through
December 31, 2024. It also outlines the proposed purchase of new and/or replacement equipment
during 2025. 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.

Summary of Use
The Antioch Police Department used military equipment in one incident described below:
APD Case # 24-10151
November 8, 2024
Summary of Incident: The Antioch Police Department SWAT Team was activated, from an initial patrol
response, for a reported armed barricaded subject. Officers responded to a domestic violence
incident where a man was reported to have kidnapped his child’s mother and was armed with a knife.
The man was uncooperative and would not comply with orders to vacate the residence in violation of
a court order. Utilizing the Unmanned Aerial Systems (drones), the officers were able to confirm the
man was armed with the knife and barricaded in the bathroom. After an 8-hour standoff, officers
deployed chemical agents to get the man to exit the bathroom. When the man, exited he was still
armed with a knife. The officers deployed a less-lethal kinetic energy projectile that shot a sponge
round at the man’s abdomen. The sponge round had the desired effect, and the man was taken into
custody.
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 and munitions containing tear gas and
OC (oleoresin capsicum) were deployed during this operation.

Proposed Purchases in 2025
APD intends to acquire two armored vehicles in 2025, which was approved by City Council on March
25, 2025. The police department intends to expand the Unmanned Airial Systems (drones) team and
purchase additional drones as technology has increased over the years. APD does not intend to
acquire any other additional military equipment. However, future attempts to obtain new equipment
will include adhering to procedures outlined in our department policy and remaining consistent with
the Military Equipment inventory list, policy, and department budget, previously approved by the City
Council.
Conclusion
There are some cases when military equipment is used or displayed that may cause concerns or
raise questions from community members. In those instances, there is a process where community
members can ask questions, express concerns, and make a complaint about the equipment’s use.
These questions, concerns, and complaints can be directed to the police department through the
complaint process on the police department’s website (https://www.antiochca.gov/comment-
forms/police-comments-complaints-recommendations/) or directly to the Chief of Police at
APDfeedback@antiochca.gov.
