SPD seeks community input on its annual military equipment use report and policy with this online survey

The Sacramento Police Department is seeking input from the public on its annual military equipment use report and policy via this online survey.

The survey takes only a few minutes to complete and asks people to share their thoughts on the annual report and policy, which is reviewed and approved by the Sacramento City Council.

The survey is available in multiple languages including English, Spanish, Chinese/Mandarin, Hmong and Vietnamese.

In addition, the Sacramento Community Police Review Commission, in collaboration with the Sacramento Police Department, is hosting a community meeting to discuss SPD's annual military equipment use report and policy.

The meeting will be held 6-9 p.m. Monday, July 22, at the Oak Park Community Center (3425 Martin Luther King Blvd.)

The public is invited to attend and participate. Parents with children are welcome, and food will be provided at the meeting.

California Assembly Bill 481 requires law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of the applicable governing body (such as City Council) by adoption of a military equipment use policy prior to taking certain actions related to the funding, acquisition or use of military equipment as defined by the legislature.
