Super-Sock is a safer and more <br />effective round due to its accuracy and consistent transfer of kinetic energy to the target. Unlike <br />traditional flat bags, no "unfolding" is necessary. Super-Sock is correctly deployed as soon as it exits the <br />muzzle. No frisbee or windsurfing effects. No hitting the target folded or sideways. When deployed, the <br />super-sock presents a consistent aerodynamic shape every time, delivering consistent and predictable <br />terminal performance. Fits cylinder and improved cylinder 12ga shotguns chambered for 2.75" & 3" <br />cartridges. <br />Purpose/Authorized Uses: The bean bag rounds provide alternative levels of force to overcome <br />resistance when reasonably necessary in accordance with policy and law. <br />Fiscal Impacts: The ammunition costs $37.50 for a box of five rounds <br />Annual Maintenance: N/A <br />Personnel Cost: Cost shown above with shotgun <br />Legal/Procedural Rules Governing Use: All use of force applications are governed by state law <br />(including Penal Code section 13652) and Pleasanton PD Policy Sections 300 and 308 <br />Training Required: Only officers who have been trained and have passed a qualification course with the <br />beanbag ammunition may deploy them.
