On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 481 to address the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment by law enforcement agencies in California. Assembly Bill 481 has designated certain equipment as “military equipment,” regardless of whether it was procured from the military or not.
This policy will be reviewed at the Beverly Hills City Council Study Session on April 12th, 2022. For a full list of the Beverly Hills Police Department’s military equipment inventory, as defined by AB 481, and to review our draft policy please visit our website at https://beverlyhills.org/police.
