MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE REPORT 2025 <br /> <br />11 <br /> <br />Summary of Military Equipment Usages <br /> <br />The City of Pleasanton, located in Alameda County, has a population of approximately 80,000 <br />residents. Situated at the junction of Interstate 580 and Interstate 680, the city is part of the <br />region commonly referred to as the Tri-Valley. The Pleasanton Police Department is authorized <br />for 118 positions, including both sworn officers and professional staff. <br /> <br />The Department maintains a wide-ranging inventory of military equipment; however, this <br />equipment is not deployed on all calls for service. The Department recognizes that critical <br />incidents are inherently unpredictable and dynamic. Access to various special ized equipment <br />options enables incident commanders, officers, and designated units to resolve these incidents <br />efficiently and safely. The use of military equipment is restricted to certain circumstances and, <br />in some cases, is limited to specific trained units. <br /> <br />This section presents the operational use of military equipment from January 1, 2025, through <br />December 31, 2025. Certain items, particularly consumables such as ammunition, diversionary <br />devices, less-lethal rounds, and chemical agents, are regularly used in training to maintain <br />proficiency; however, training usage is not captured in this report. Only the operational <br />deployment of military equipment is included in the data presented in this Annual Military <br />Equipment Use Report. <br /> <br /> <br />Outreach and Community Engagement <br /> <br />The Pleasanton Police Department is committed to partnering with the community to build <br />trust and strengthen relationships. As the Department continues to enhance these connections, <br />we strive to serve as a model of excellence and leadership in the law enfo rcement profession. <br />Equally important, we aim to provide the public with insight into how the Department operates <br />and engages with the community. <br /> <br />Many items in the Department’s military equipment inventory, including the Armored Rescue <br />Vehicle and Mobile Command Vehicle are used during outreach and community events. These <br />opportunities promote public awareness, transparency, and education, allowing community <br />members to see the equipment firsthand, ask questions, and engage in open dialogue about its <br />use and necessity. By providing this insight, the Department helps the public understand the <br />tools employed to maintain safety in the City of Pleasanton and fosters trust and accountability <br />between law enforcement and the community. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Page 167 of 846
