MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE REPORT 2025 Summary of Military Equipment Usages 74, The City of Pleasanton, located in Alameda County, has a population of approximately 80,000 residents. Situated at the junction of Interstate 580 and Interstate 680, the city is part of the region commonly referred to as the Tri-Valley.The Pleasanton Police Department is authorized for 118 positions, including both sworn officers and professional staff. The Department maintains a wide-ranging inventory of military equipment; however, this equipment is not deployed on all calls for service. The Department recognizes that critical incidents are inherently unpredictable and dynamic. Access to various specialized equipment options enables incident commanders, officers, and designated units to resolve these incidents efficiently and safely. The use of military equipment is restricted to certain circumstances and, in some cases, is limited to specific trained units. This section presents the operational use of military equipment from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025. Certain items, particularly consumables such as ammunition, diversionary devices, less-lethal rounds, and chemical agents, are regularly used in training to maintain proficiency; however, training usage is not captured in this report. Only the operational deployment of military equipment is included in the data presented in this Annual Military Equipment Use Report. Outreach and Community Engagement The Pleasanton Police Department is committed to partnering with the community to build trust and strengthen relationships. As the Department continues to enhance these connections, we strive to serve as a model of excellence and leadership in the law enforcement profession. Equally important, we aim to provide the public with insight into how the Department operates and engages with the community. Many items in the Department's military equipment inventory, including the Armored Rescue Vehicle and Mobile Command Vehicle are used during outreach and community events. These opportunities promote public awareness, transparency, and education, allowing community members to see the equipment firsthand, ask questions, and engage in open dialogue about its use and necessity. By providing this insight, the Department helps the public understand the tools employed to maintain safety in the City of Pleasanton and fosters trust and accountability between law enforcement and the community. 11
