AB-481 Website Policy Posting

AB-481 requires that all state and local police agencies adopt a military equipment use policy that is first presented to their respective governing body (in this case, to the Grass Valley City Council).  AB-481 (available to review here) specifically defines what is “military equipment” as well as the process by which a governing body must review, hear public comment, and adopt a proposed policy.  The City Council and the pubic have opportunity to make comment on the draft policy.&nb
