MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE REPORT 2024 <br /> <br />10 <br />Summary of Military Equipment Usages <br /> <br />The City of Pleasanton is in Alameda County and has a population of approximately 80,000 <br />people. The city is located at the junction of Interstate 580 and Interstate 680, which is referred <br />to as the county's Tri-Valley. The police department is authorized for 118 positions, which <br />consists of both sworn and professional staff members. <br /> <br />The Pleasanton Police Department's military equipment inventory is wide-ranging, and the <br />equipment is not utilized on all calls for service. The police department recognizes that critical <br />incidents are unpredictable and dynamic. Various military equipment options can greatly assist <br />incident commanders, officers, and specific units in bringing those incidents to a swift and <br />peaceful resolution. The use of military equipment is restricted to use only in certain instances <br />and, in some cases, only by specific units. <br /> <br />This section outlines the military equipment usage from January 1st, 2024, through December <br />31st, 2024. Certain items of military equipment, particularly consumables (ammunition, <br />diversionary devices, less lethal rounds, chemical agents, etc.), are used throughout the year <br />regularly for training to maintain proficiency. Usage in training environments is not captured in <br />this annual report. The usage section of this report only provides data for the operational use of <br />military equipment listed within this Annual Military Equipment Use Report. <br /> <br />Outreach and Community Engagement <br /> <br />The Pleasanton Police Department is devoted to collaborating with our community to build <br />trust. As the police department continues to improve community relationships, we remain <br />committed to being a model of excellence and a leader in the law enforcement profession. <br />Moreover, we want to ensure our community has an insight into how their police department <br />operates and engages with the public. <br /> <br />The Pleasanton Police Department utilizes many of the below listed equipment, including the <br />armored rescue vehicle, during outreach and community events. This serves as a means of <br />public awareness, transparency, and education and gives those in the community the ability to <br />see our equipment, ask questions and have honest conversations about the use and need for <br />such equipment. This helps to bring insight and awareness to the public and allows them to <br />view the type of equipment their police department utilizes to keep the City of Pleasanton a <br />safe place. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Page 93 of 249
