Title: Military Equipment Use (MEU) Schedule
Summary
The Sacramento Community Police Review Commission (SCPRC) is working to enhance public engagement regarding the Military Equipment Use (MEU) Policy as mandated by California Assembly Bill 481. This legislation requires law enforcement agencies, including the Sacramento Police Department (SPD), to obtain approval from the City Council for the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment. The SCPRC's role includes facilitating an annual community forum to promote transparency and gather public input on the MEU Policy. Key elements of the outreach strategy include scheduling the forum, developing informational materials, and ensuring accessibility. The initiative underscores the importance of community involvement in oversight of police practices, fostering informed public dialogue on the use of military equipment in law enforcement.
