Proposed Uses
The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office SCOUT program uses Unmanned Aerial System (UAS)
craft of varying sizes and capabilities to enhance public safety. All the crafts used by the
program are the same makes and models available for purchase by the public. The craft is used
in compliance with all federal, state, and local laws and is not used in any way for routine patrol
or surveillance of the public.
Justification:
The wide variety of UAS utilized by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office augment the Air
Operations detail. They provide an aerial perspective that is directly viewable by Incident
Commanders and Tactical Commanders during critical incidents and high-risk events. Because
of these UAS, commanders are able to make split-second decisions that keep officers and

 Attachment 1
Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Military Equipment Use Report 2024

surrounding citizens safe, as well as reduce the risk of use-of-force encounters with a
sequestered suspect(s).
Rules of Use

14 CFR Part 107 Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems governs the use of drones. More information
about the rules for public safety agencies can be found on the FAA website at
https://www.faa.gov/uas/public_safety_gov/
The use of UAS is governed by Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. The Federal
Aviation Admiration (FAA) governs all aircraft rules and regulations for flight within the US
National Airspace, including UAS

Sheriff’s Office General Orders:

G.O 26-10 – Unmanned Aerial Systems

Training
All SSO UAS Pilots have FAA Part 107 Commercial UAS Pilot License and go through 40 hours of
initial training prior to operating any UAS in the field. This training includes but is not limited to,
Federal rules and regulations, State rules and regulations, SSO Policy, Flight training (day and
night), and SSO Obtained FAA Authorizations.

Ensuring Compliance
The Sheriff’s Office uses a Pilot and Equipment Flight Management System that alerts the
administrators anytime a UAS exceeds standard operating procedures and when pilots are out
of flight currency standards. The Federal Aviation Administration has the authority to perform a
compliance check of Sheriff’s Office UAS Operations at any time and the authority to revoke
issued Certificate of Authorizations. The Sheriff's Office has the authority to investigate any
suspected UAS Pilot misconduct and take disciplinary action up to and including termination.

Fiscal Impact
Annual Maintenance and battery replacement cost is approximately $25,000.

Robots

remotely operated from many hundreds of meters away, providing protection and safety to
their operators.
4. Robotex Avatar Tactical Robot, Cost: $57,618.80, Quantity 2, Lifespan: until deemed
unusable. The AVATAR® enhances the capabilities of SWAT and tactical response teams by
allowing them to quickly and safely inspect dangerous situations, there is no longer a need
to send personnel in before you’ve had a chance to assess the situation. The AVATAR®
enhances the capabilities of SWAT and tactical response teams by allowing them to quickly
and safely inspect dangerous situations, there is no longer a need to send personnel in
before you’ve had a chance to assess the situation.

Purpose
To be used to remotely gain visual/audio data, deliver HNT phone, open doors, disrupt
packages, and clear buildings.
Justification:
Robots are used in place of a person when practical to safely accomplish a task without putting
a person in harm’s way. They can open doors, look at things, manipulate, or move items. They
can deliver equipment, provide communication, and aid in de-escalation. Often the only
alternative to using a robot is to put an officer or bomb technician, or tactical personnel, in
great jeopardy to accomplish a task that could be safely performed with a robot.

Authorized Use
Only assigned operators who have completed the required training shall be permitted to
operate the robots identified at sections 2(a)(i) through (ii). Use is established by the Bomb
Squad Commander and or Incident Commander.

Training
EOD Robot operators (PackBot, Qinetic Dragon, Remote Andros F6-A) must complete FBI
Hazardous Devices School and FBI Robotics School. Robotex Avatar drivers include lecture,
familiarization, and driving training.

Legal and Procedural Rules

It is the policy of the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office to utilize a robot only for official law
enforcement purposes, and in a manner that respects the privacy of our community, pursuant
to State and Federal law.

Armored Vehicles
Commercially produced wheeled armored personnel vehicle utilized for law enforcement
purposes.

Description, quantity, capabilities, lifespan, and purchased cost

 Attachment 1
Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Military Equipment Use Report 2024

1. LENCO BEARCAT G2, Cost: $244,062 (2012 model), $389,256 (2022 model), Quantity 2,
Lifespan: 10 years. The Lenco Bearcat, G2, is an armored vehicle that seats 10-12 personnel
with an open floor plan that allows for the rescue of down personnel. It can stop various
projectiles, which provides greater safety to citizens and officers beyond the protection
level of shield and personal body armor.

Purpose
To be used in response to critical incidents to enhance officer and community safety, improve
scene containment and stabilization, and assist in resolving critical incidents.

Justification
Should the Lenco Bearcat or Rook be removed from the current inventory, the ability to safely
rescue, evacuate, and extricate civilians and law enforcement personnel from high-risk
situations would be severely compromised and place the public, law enforcement, and the
suspect(s) in an immediate higher degree of danger. In the instance in which there exists an
active gun battle involving suspect(s) weapons such as high-power rifles and high-power
handgun ammunition, or there exists a very high probability of the potential of an armed
conflict occurring, normal “hardcover” such as standard patrol vehicles, body armor, helmets,
portable shields, and even masonry or wood items, would not provide the adequate ballistic
protection to safely evacuate and rescue civilians and public safety personnel from such an
incident. This would effectively decrease the ability of law enforcement to provide lifesaving,
harm-reduction measures to the public and their own personnel, while at the same time
increasing the risk to the suspect(s).

Authorized Use
The use of armored vehicles shall only be authorized by a watch commander or SWAT
commander based on the specific circumstances of a given critical incident. Armored vehicles
shall be used only by officers trained in their deployment and in a manner consistent with
Department policy and training.

Fiscal Impact
$8,000 maintenance, $5,000 gas.

Training
All drivers/operators shall attend formalized instruction and be trained in vehicle operations
and practical driving instruction.

Legal and Procedural Rules

All drivers/operators shall attend formalized instruction and be trained in vehicle operations
and practical driving instruction.

 Attachment 1
Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Military Equipment Use Report 2024

Purpose
To provide a capability for defensive ballistic protection in indoor and outdoor environments,
rescue platforms for elevated structure rescue, and rough terrain environments where certain
equipment would be limited.

Justification
Should the Lenco Bearcat or Rook be removed from the current inventory, the ability to safely
rescue, evacuate, and extricate civilians and law enforcement personnel from high-risk
situations would be severely compromised and place the public, law enforcement, and the
suspect(s) in an immediate higher degree of danger. In the instance in which there exists an
active gun battle involving suspect(s) weapons such as high-power rifles and high-power
handgun ammunition, or there exists a very high probability of the potential of an armed
conflict occurring, normal “hardcover” such as standard patrol vehicles, body armor, helmets,
portable shields, and even masonry or wood items, would not provide the adequate ballistic
protection to safely evacuate and rescue civilians and public safety personnel from such an
incident. This would effectively decrease the ability of law enforcement to provide lifesaving,
harm-reduction measures to the public and their own personnel while at the same time
increasing the risk to the suspect(s).

Authorized Use
The ROOK shall be used by SWAT team members in a manner consistent with Department
policy and training. Furthermore, only SWAT team members or those designated by the tactical
commander, who have completed the appropriate training, will operate the ROOK.

meters.
2. American Tech LRAD 1000X, Cost: $41,785 per unit, Quantity: 2, Lifespan: Unknown,
purchased in 2008. These large LRAD devices are mounted atop Folsom Dam. They are used
by Folsom Dam Bureau law enforcement personnel to communicate with boaters on the
lake and visitors on the shore.

Purpose
The LRAD is used by the Folsom Dam Bureau to communicate with boaters on the lake and
visitors on the shore.
The LRAD is used frequently in service of high-risk search warrants where Critical Incident
Negotiations Team (CINT) members call the occupants out of a residence. This use of de-
escalation lessens the chance of a force on force encounter between a suspect, officer, and
citizens.
The LRAD is also used during protest activities to give warnings prior to arrest and to give

Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Military Equipment Use Report 2024

Chemical agents are used to help alleviate the need for officers to use potentially lethal
options. In a situation where a suspect is shooting at officers, and chemical agents are
deployed, it may induce a cease-fire and peaceful resolution to the situation. Cases around the
nation have repeatedly proven this to be true, as chemical agents are utilized on an almost daily
basis nationwide. Without the ability to use chemical agents, officers may be forced to enter
barricaded residences, thus increasing the likelihood of a deadly encounter for either the officer
or suspect. Studies related to the safety of chemical agents have shown them to be very safe to
those who are exposed to the agent, with only short-term discomfort being the byproduct of
their use.

Authorized Use
Situations for use of the less lethal weapon systems may include, but are not limited to:
h. Self-destructive, dangerous, and/or combative individuals.
i. Riot/crowd control and civil unrest incidents.
j. Circumstances where a tactical advantage can be obtained.
k. Potentially vicious animals.
l. Training exercises or approved demonstrations.

Training
Sworn members utilizing 40MM less lethal chemical agents or impact rounds are trained in
their use by POST-certified less lethal and chemical agent instructors.

Fiscal Impact
Annual maintenance is approximately $100 for each launcher.

Legal and Procedural Rules

Use is established under the following Sheriff’s Office Policies:
G.O. 2/01 Authorized Firearms and Ammunition
G.O. 2/03 Firearms Training and Qualification

Less Lethal Shotgun

Less Lethal Shotgun is used to deploy the less lethal 12-gauge Super-Sock Beanbag Round.

Description, quantity, capabilities, and purchase cost

1. REMINGTON 870 LESS LETHAL SHOTGUN, Cost: $750, Quantity: 587, Lifespan: 25 years. The
Remington 870 Less Lethal Shotgun is used to deploy the less lethal 12-gauge Super-Sock

Page | 16
 Attachment 1
Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Military Equipment Use Report 2024

Beanbag Round from a distance of 5 to 75 feet. The range of the weapon system helps to
maintain space between officers and a suspect reducing the immediacy of the threat which
is a principle of de-escalation.
2. SRM ARMS M1216 Less Lethal Shotgun, Cost $1,549, Quantity: 1, Lifespan: 25 Years. A
single unit of this less lethal shotgun was purchased to conduct a trial and evaluation to
determine its suitability for use by the Sheriff’s Office. The unit did not perform as required,
and no further units will be purchased. This item will not be issued for duty use. 3
3. 12-GAUGE SUPER-SOCK BEANBAG ROUND, Cost: $5.25, Quantity: 50,000, Lifespan: No
expiration date. A less lethal 2.4-inch 12-gauge shotgun round firing a ballistic fiber bag
filled with 40 grams of lead shot at a velocity of 270-290 feet per second (FPS). CTS Super-
Sock rounds are discharged from a dedicated 12-gauge shotgun that is distinguishable by an
orange butt stock and foregrip. This round provides accurate and effective performance
when fired from the approved distance of not fewer than five (5) feet. The maximum
effective range of this munition is up to 75 feet from the target. The Model 2581 Super-Sock
is in its deployed state immediately upon exiting the barrel. It does not require a minimum
range to “unfold” or “stabilize.” The Super-Sock is an aerodynamic projectile. However,
accuracy is relative to the shotgun, barrel length, environmental conditions, and the
operator. The Super-Sock is very accurate. However, effectiveness depends on many
variables, such as distance, clothing, stature, and the point where the projectile impacts.

Purpose
To limit the escalation of conflict where employment of lethal force is prohibited or otherwise
avoidable.
Justification
The Remington 870 Less Lethal Shotgun is the Sheriff’s Office’s primary less-lethal launcher. In
many situations, officers rely on less lethal launchers to avoid the necessity to use lethal force.
Less lethal launchers provide officers the means to deal with dangerous situations without
having to close the distance with potentially armed or combative people. They can be used
from greater, and thus safer, distances than other less lethal devices, such as Tasers or other
conducted energy devices. Because they can be used from a distance, it creates less likelihood
for the person causing the potential danger to get close enough to harm officers. In turn, this
decreases the likelihood that officers will come under such threat and it becomes less likely that
it will be necessary for officers to use greater levels of force. In this way, these less-lethal
launchers and their associated ammunition fill a critical role in the tactical de-escalation process
that other equipment would not be able to fulfill.

Authorized Use
Situations for use of the less lethal weapon systems may include, but are not limited to:
a. Self-destructive, dangerous, and/or combative individuals.

b. Riot/crowd control and civil unrest incidents.

c. Circumstances where a tactical advantage can be obtained.
d. Potentially vicious animals.
e. Training exercises or approved demonstrations.

Training
Sworn members utilizing less lethal shotguns trained in their use by POST-certified less lethal
and chemical agent instructors.

Fiscal Impact
Annual maintenance is approximately $50 for each less-lethal shotgun.

Distraction Devices
“Flashbang” Grenades and Explosive Breaching Tools Devices that create a distraction during a
hostage rescue, room entry, or high-risk arrest situations.

Description, quantity, capabilities, lifespan, and purchased cost

1. CTS 7290 series Flash-Bangs (Diversionary Device), cost: $39 per unit, quantity: 480,
lifespan: 5 years. The Flash Bang produces atmospheric overpressure and brilliant white
light that causes short-term physiological/ psychological sensory deprivation
(Approximately 6-8 Seconds) to give officers a tactical advantage.
2. CTS 4090 series 40mm Aerial Flash-Bang (Diversionary Device), cost: $39 per unit, quantity:
50, lifespan: 5 years. The Flash Bang produces atmospheric overpressure and brilliant white
light that causes short-term physiological/ psychological sensory deprivation
(Approximately 6-8 Seconds) to give officers a tactical advantage. The aerial flashbang
allows for a distraction device that has minimal fire risk if a deployment is considered
reasonable in a rural environment.

Purpose
Flash-Bang devices are used during training and tactical events when a diversion or distraction
is believed to be an effective tool to bring an event to a safe resolution.

Page | 18
 Attachment 1
Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Military Equipment Use Report 2024

Justification
Light sound diversionary devices (flash-bangs) utilize flash powder to deflagrate, which emits
heat, light, and sound from the device. This is designed to very temporarily overwhelm a human
being’s sensory system. The fractions of a second which are potentially gained through the use
of flash bangs can provide deputies a window of opportunity to achieve resolution in high-risk
situations.

Authorized Use
Flashbangs are used in accordance with established state and federal law.

Fiscal Impact
$2000 Per Year

Training
SWAT personnel receive training internally when they transfer to the unit as well as POST
certified in-class training. Additional training will be completed annually to re-certify members
of the SWAT team in the use and deployment of the Flash-Bang devices. Non-SWAT personnel
attend a POST-certified class in the use and deployment of the Flash-Bang device.
Legal and Procedural Rules
Flashbangs are used in accordance with Operations Orders 2/04 and 2/05, as well as in
accordance with established state and federal law.

quantity: 20,000 Rounds, Lifespan: No expiration. Designed specifically for the 308 AR-10
platform and its variants, the resilient tip of the ELD Match bullet aids in reliable feed and
function, and the propellant is specifically tailored to efficiently operate in the AR-10. The
168-gr.tip delivers excellent performance and features a resilient, heat-resistant polymer tip
that improves the ballistic coefficient, resulting in higher impact velocities, less drop, less
wind drift, and more energy on target.
11. HORNADY TAP ELD-MATCH .308 165GR GMX HEAVY BARRIER SNIPER ROUND, Cost:
$1.52/round, Quantity: 5,000 Rounds, Lifespan: No expiration. The bullet is similar to the
above-listed Hornady TAP ELD Match AR Sniper ammunition but is designed to penetrate
heavy barriers such as 1-inch laminated glass with exceptional weight retention while still

12. HORNADY TAP ELD-MATCH .308 110GR URBAN SNIPER ROUNDS, Cost: $1.45/round,
Quantity: 5,000 Rounds, Lifespan: No expiration. The bullet is similar to the above-listed
Hornady TAP ELD Match AR Sniper ammunition but is designed to NOT over-penetrate
while maintaining weight retention and still delivering superior performance.

Purpose
To be used, when appropriate, as weapons to address threats with more precision and/or
across greater distances than a handgun.
Justification
The Daniel Defense M4 provides SED/SWAT team members the ability to provide citizens,
victims, and officers with a higher level of protection/defense against a violent subject who is
armed.
The Seekins Sp-10M is a new rifle to SED. The rifle has been deployed by SED sniper/ observers
approximately eight (8) times since its adoption in 2021. Previous iterations of sniper rifles
have been deployed by SED sniper/ observer teams numerous times to assist in observation or
to provide firing solutions during critical incidents when no other means/ resources were
available or as necessary. Additionally, the long-range capabilities of the rifle allow law
enforcement personnel to retain a large standoff distance from a dangerous suspect, thereby
increasing officer safety.
The Sig Sauer 716G2 was chosen for its ability to serve as a precision rifle in a similar role as the
SEEKINS SP-10M (45), and at the same time fill a similar role to a standard-issue patrol rifle
should such a need arise. In this way, it would eliminate the need for staff to issue a Sig Sauer
716G2 to carry two rifles, one for precision use and one for all other appropriate applications.
The need for officers issued a Sig Sauer 716G2 to have access to a precision rifle stems from
their assignment to a facility tasked with maintaining such a capability per federal contract, and
to aid in their response to a potential terror attack. Additionally, the long-range capabilities of
the rifle allow law enforcement personnel to retain a large standoff distance from a dangerous
suspect, thereby increasing officer safety.

Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Military Equipment Use Report 2024

Law enforcement is tasked with responding to dangerous events which may require an armed
response. In certain circumstances, it may become necessary for an officer to discharge their
firearm in the course of duty. In these situations, officers equipped with rifles are able to place
rounds accurately. This results in an increase in safety for the public and officers. Speer Gold
Dot Soft Point .223 Caliber 55 Grain Rifle Rounds were selected to be used in conjunction with
the rifle utilized by the Sheriff's Office.
The Sheriff’s Office utilizes the Hornady TAP ELD-Match 168 grain AR .308 caliber rifle
ammunition as the primary ammunition for the Seekins SP-10M precision rifle. This
ammunition is designed specifically for the AR-10 platform. The resilient tip of the ELD Match
bullet aids in reliable feed and function, and the propellant is specifically tailored to efficiently
operate in the AR-10. The 168 gr. ELD- Match bullet with Heat Shield tip delivers excellent
terminal performance, limiting over penetration. Hornady TAP Precision features a resilient,
heat-resistant polymer tip that improves the ballistic coefficient, resulting in higher impact
velocities, less drop, less wind drift, and more energy on target, making it extremely accurate
and reliable. This specific ammunition has a pinned primer that prevents the primer from
“blowing back” into the chamber and causing failures in the firearm. SED sniper/ observers
rigorously tested several brands of ammunition and determined the Hornady TAP ELD-Match
168 grain AR .308 caliber rifle ammunition to the best ammunition to fit their needs and
performance with the Seekins SP-10M.

Hornady TAP ELD-Match 168 grain Heavy Barrier .308 caliber rifle ammunition is utilized in
conjunction with the Seekins SP-10M precision rifle. Hornady TAP ELD-Match 168 grain AR .308
caliber rifle ammunition has been deployed by SED sniper/ observer teams to assist in
observation or to provide firing solutions during critical incidents when no other means/
resources were available or as necessary.

Justification

 Attachment 1
Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Military Equipment Use Report 2024

Any critical incident will effectively put a strain on the daily functions of patrol and responding
to citizens’ calls for service. When officers are dealing with a critical incident, all other
emergencies that citizens may have are often prioritized below the critical incident. During a
critical incident, neighbors are evacuated from their homes for their safety for several hours,
roads are closed and businesses may be shut until the incident is resolved. Chemical agents may
be used to ensure that the incident is resolved in a timely manner, limiting the impact on the
citizens.
Chemical agents are used to help alleviate the need for officers to use potentially lethal
options. In a situation where a suspect is shooting at officers and chemical agents are deployed,
it may induce a cease-fire and peaceful resolution to the situation. Cases around the nation
have repeatedly proven this to be true, as chemical agents are utilized on an almost daily basis
nationwide. Without the ability to use chemical agents, officers may be forced to enter
barricaded residences, thus increasing the likelihood of a deadly encounter for either the officer
or suspect. Studies related to the safety of chemical agents have shown them to be very safe to
those who are exposed to the agent, with only short-term discomfort being the byproduct of
their use.

Authorized Use
All items are used in accordance with established state and federal law. It is further used in
accordance with established department policy, including Operations Orders 2/04 and 2/05,
General Orders 2/08, 2/11, and 2/15.

Training
SWAT operators who utilize these munitions have been through and successfully completed a
POST-approved gas school and/or trained in-house by POST-certified chemical agent
instructors. Non-SWAT personnel attend a POST-certified class in the use and deployment of
the above-mentioned device.
