AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD,
CALIFORNIA, RENEWING THE CARLSBAD POLICE DEPARTMENT’S MILITARY
EQUIPMENT USE POLICY
WHEREAS, California Government Code sections 7070 through 7075 require law enforcement
agencies to obtain approval of the governing body, by an ordinance adopting a military equipment use
policy at a regular meeting held pursuant to open meeting laws, prior to taking certain actions relating
to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment. The term “military equipment” is defined in
California Government Code section 7070; and
WHEREAS, state law requires the governing body of a city to make specified determinations
before it may approve a military equipment use policy; and
WHEREAS, the City of Carlsbad is in possession of certain pieces of equipment that are defined
as military equipment under California Government Code section 7070; and
WHEREAS, on April 19, 2022, the City Council introduced Ordinance CS-421 adopting the Police
Department’s military equipment use policy, Carlsbad Police Department Policy 708, which was
adopted on May 10, 2022; and
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 481 requires the governing body to review the ordinance it has
adopted approving the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment at least annually and vote on
whether to renew the ordinance; and
WHEREAS, in order to promote public safety, civil rights, and officer safety, the Carlsbad Police
Department desires to continue using, seeking funding for, acquiring, and collaborating, when
necessary, with other law enforcement agencies in the use of, military equipment, as described in the
Carlsbad Police Department Policy 708; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Carlsbad Police Department Policy 708 was published on the Carlsbad
Police Department’s internet website at least 30 days prior to any public hearing concerning the
military equipment at issue, in accordance with Government Code section 7071(b); and
WHEREAS, the City Council has received the Carlsbad Police Department’s 2022 Military

Docusign Envelope ID: 02AA3F59-FD56-4FAA-962E-BB702E8C0B24
2. The proposed action is not a “project” as defined by CEQA Section 21065 and CEQA
Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5) and does not require environment review under CEQA
Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) and 15061(b)(3), because the proposed action to report
on the city’s military equipment policy does not involve any commitment to any specific
project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
Any subsequent action or direction stemming from the proposed action may require
preparation of an environmental document in accordance with CEQA or CEQA
Guidelines.
3. Based on the recitations above and the information provided to the City Council at the
public hearing, including the 2024 Military Equipment Report, the City Council
determines as follows:

Military Equipment, attached and incorporated herein as Attachment A, is necessary
because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of
officer and civilian safety;
b. The military equipment use policy contained in Carlsbad Police Department Policy
708 will safeguard the public's welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties;
c. The military equipment identified in Carlsbad Police Department Policy 708 is
reasonably cost effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the
same objective of officer and civilian safety; and
d. Prior military equipment use complied with the applicable equipment use policy
(which included equipment now defined as military equipment) that was in effect at
the time, or if prior uses that did not comply with the applicable equipment use
policy, corrective action has been taken to remedy nonconforming uses and ensure
future compliance.
4. The Carlsbad Police Department Policy 708 - Military Equipment (Attachment A) is
approved and adopted.
5. The Carlsbad Police Department is authorized to seek funds for military equipment
described in the Carlsbad Police Department Policy 708, acquire military equipment

• L3 Night Vision Monocular
Description L3 White Phosphor PVS-14 Harris Gen 3 Automated Night Vision
Monocular
Quantity 24
Capability This monocular is now available with improved white phosphor
tube technology for greater target detection and recognition.
Low-light and nighttime maneuvers appear more natural in
black and white, with added contrast detail in shapes and
shadows, providing the operator with more visual information
for assessment and acquisition. White phosphor offers various
shades of intensity between black and white (over black and
green), resulting in better contrast and depth perception.
Life Span N/A
Manufacturer’s description The Night Vision Device, also known by its military
nomenclature AN/PVS-14, is the U.S. military standard for night
vision and can be either used as a handheld pocket scope, a right
or left eye-mounted monocular or a weapon sight when
mounted in conjunction with an infrared laser aimer or other
night vision-compatible primary optic.
Purpose & Authorized Use Used to provide personnel with more visual information in dark
to low light environments without giving away the user’s
location. In a low-light environment, when a light is used to
visually clear an area, it works both ways. The officer can locate
and see the suspect, but the suspect can also locate and see the
officer. This can be problematic and dangerous when the
suspect is in a position of advantage and or is armed. Night
Vision Devices allow officers to scan and assess a low-light
environment without putting themselves at increased risk. The
information gained can then be used to make more informed
tactical decisions.
Issued to individual SWAT personnel to be used in low-light
environments when the device would help provide more visual
information in a low-light environment.

greater target detection and recognition. Low-light and
nighttime maneuvers appear more natural in black and white,
with added contrast detail in shapes and shadows, providing the
operator more visual information for assessment and
acquisition. White phosphor provides varying shades of
intensity between black and white (over black and green),

Life Span N/A
Manufacturer’s description The Binocular Night Vision Device (BNVD) has an ergonomic,
low-profile design and offers superior situational awareness

operational utility, and improve overall situational awareness as
compared to currently fielded dual-tube goggles.
Purpose & Authorized Use Used to provide personnel with more visual information in dark
to low light environments without giving away the user’s
location. In a low-light environment, when a light is used to clear
an area visually, it works both ways. The officer can locate and
see the suspect, but the suspect can also locate and see the

Description Steiner DBAL-A3
Quantity 24
Capability While the IR Laser and Visible Green Laser can be used to assist
in aiming while using NVGs or Gas masks, there are limitations
to their accuracy.
The DBAL-A3 is the first to feature new defocused adjustable IR
illumination technology to enable both midrange and close-
quarter target acquisition. The visible green laser's direct diode
allows for cold weather operation as low as -20°C.

Life Span N/A
Manufacturer’s description Available for the commercial market, the first eye-safe IR laser
pointer, IR illuminator, and green laser pointer in a single
compact unit. Features an adjustable IR illuminator for better
illumination at longer ranges, dual activation switches, and
high/low power modes.
The DBAL-A3 civilian model is based on the standard-issue
DBAL-A3 for U.S. warfighters. And just like the restricted
models, this unit offers the latest advances in IR and visible laser
technology. The dual-beam infrared laser and illuminator
combination is extremely accurate in low- and no-light
maneuvers. In addition, the DBAL-A3 is the first to feature new
defocused adjustable IR illumination technology to enable both
midrange and close-quarter target acquisition. The visible green
laser's direct diode allows for cold weather operation as low as
-20°C.
Purpose & Authorized Use The dual-beam infrared laser and illuminator are used to
identify and highlight objects in low-light to dark environments.
They allow users to illuminate areas via infrared light without
giving away the user’s position.
Issued to individual SWAT personnel to be used in low-light
environments when the device would help provide more visual
information in a low-light environment.

Manufacturer’s description America's bestselling shotgun for over 50 years, the Model 870's
dependability is legendary. The receiver is milled from a solid
billet of steel for strength and durability, and the twin action
bars ensure smooth, reliable, non-binding action.
Purpose & Authorized Use This department is committed to reducing the potential for
violent confrontations. Kinetic energy projectiles, when used
properly, are less likely to result in death or serious physical
injury and can be used in an attempt to de-escalate a potentially
deadly situation.
Circumstances appropriate for deployment include, but are not
limited to, situations in which the suspect is armed with a
weapon and the tactical circumstances allow for the safe
application of approved munitions. The suspect has made
credible threats to harm himself/herself or others. The suspect
is engaged in riotous behavior or is throwing rocks, bottles, or
other dangerous projectiles at people and/or officers. There is
probable cause to believe that the suspect has already
committed a crime of violence and is refusing to comply with
lawful orders.

patented and proven Flow-Through® technology. It delivers
sub-140 dB and zero flash performance, is full-auto rated,
easily passes the USSOCOM Reliability Stress Test, and has no
minimum barrel restrictions—it’s designed and built for
extreme use.
Purpose & Authorized Use A device that greatly reduces sound, recoil, and muzzle rise.
Suppressors don’t completely remove the need for hearing
protection, but they can help a great deal. When you fire a gun,
a large volume of hot, high-pressure gas exits the muzzle along
with the bullet. This gas shooting down gun barrel and exiting
makes a lot of noise (“muzzle blast”). A suppressor contains
some of those gasses for a fraction of a second, allowing them
to expand and cool more gradually by circulating them around
internal baffles. This helps to lower the decibel level.
The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) has
determined that a decibel (dB) level greater than 140 can cause
permanent hearing loss. Suppressors can lower the dB level
below this detrimental 140 dB level. These devices are
attached to issued Patrol Rifles.
Legal & Procedural Rules Because these devices are attached to rifles, all applicable
State, Federal, and local laws governing police use of force
apply. (See Sig M400 and Smith and Wesson M&P Rifle

• Huxwrx Flow Flash Cap Suppressor with Flash Hider
Description 2449-DS HUXWRX 556K Suppressor
Quantity 24
Capability Lowers sound
Life Span 15+ years
Manufacturer’s description An innovative multi-caliber suppressor with patented and
proven Flow-Through™ and Torque Lock™ technology. It is
designed to reduce signature without negatively impacting
cycling or service life. The FLOW 556k is DMLS printed in 17-4
Stainless. It delivers superior toxic fume exposure mitigation,
flash reduction, sound reduction, recoil reduction, accuracy,
and repeatability by its unique Flow-Through™ helical coil and
core deflector design. It is full-auto rated and compatible on
5.56, 17 HMR, and 5.7 platforms. The integrated flash cap
geometry effectively mitigates flash as part of its overall
signature reduction functionality.
The HX-QD 556k was designed with minimal length in mind.
The low volume and light weight make this suppressor ideal for
shooters more concerned with size than maximum sound
reduction. Sound pressure levels are measured at the shooters
ear to comply with current military specifications

2024 Military Equipment Inventory Report Page | 27
Purpose & Authorized Use A device that greatly reduces sound, recoil, and muzzle rise.
Suppressors don’t completely remove the need for hearing
protection, but they can help a great deal. When you fire a gun,
a large volume of hot, high-pressure gas exits the muzzle along
with the bullet. This gas shooting down gun barrel and exiting
makes a lot of noise (“muzzle blast”). A suppressor contains
some of those gasses for a fraction of a second and allows them
to expand and cool more gradually by circulating them around
internal baffles. This helps to lower the decibel level.
The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) has
determined that a decibel (dB) level greater than 140 can cause
permanent hearing loss. suppressors can lower the dB level
below the detrimental 140 dB level.
These devices are attached to issued SWAT Rifles.
Legal & Procedural Rules Because these devices are attached to rifles, all applicable
State, Federal, and local laws governing police use of force
apply. (See Geissele Rifle Legal/Procedural Rules Governing

any other round found on the market today, our Byrna Max
projectiles are designed for maximum stopping power.
Physical symptoms of chemical irritants often result in
disorientation and agitation, which can lead to a state of fear,
anxiety, and panic in would-be attackers. Upon impact, the
projectiles burst, creating a cloud of chemical irritant that rapidly
disperses into the air to quickly incapacitate an attacker. Within
seconds, the saturation area extends in all directions around the
point of impact
Purpose & Authorized Use This department is committed to reducing the potential for
violent confrontations. Kinetic energy projectiles, when used
properly, are less likely to result in death or serious physical
injury and can be used in an attempt to de-escalate a potentially
deadly situation.
Circumstances appropriate for deployment include, but are not
limited to, situations in which: The suspect is armed with a
weapon and the tactical circumstances allow for the safe
application of approved munitions. The suspect has made
credible threats to harm him/herself or others. The suspect is
engaged in riotous behavior or is throwing rocks, bottles or other
dangerous projectiles at people and/or officers. There is
probable cause to believe that the suspect has already
committed a crime of violence and is refusing to comply with
lawful orders.
TEAR GAS (CS)
Tear gas may be used for crowd control, crowd dispersal or
against barricaded suspects based on the circumstances. Only
the Watch Commander, Incident Commander or Crisis Response
Unit Commander may authorize the delivery and use of tear gas,
and only after evaluating all conditions known at the time and
determining that such force reasonably appears justified and
necessary.
OLEORESIN CAPSICUM (OC)
As with other control devices, oleoresin capsicum (OC) spray and
pepper projectiles may be considered for use to bring under
control an individual or groups of individuals who are engaging
in or are about to engage in violent behavior. However, pepper
projectiles and OC spray should not be used against individuals
or groups who merely fail to disperse or do not reasonably
appear to present a risk to the safety of officers or the public.
