Dear Silvia Bautista,
Thank you so much for your response to my Public Records Act request for purchase and deployment records for certain equipment used by the San Bernardino Police Department. I appreciate it.
There was a third point in my request, to which I don't see a response. It was this:
3. Records of deployment by your agency since January 1, 2020 of projectile launch platforms, such as 40mm projectile launchers, "bean bag" or specialty impact munition ("SIM") weapons, and "riot guns" used to disperse chemical agents; explosives and pyrotechnics, such as "flashbang" grenades and explosive breaching tools; and chemical weapons such as "teargas" and "pepper balls".
Can you let me know whether you conducted a search for such deployment records and, if so, the outcome of that search? Or, if you posted these and I missed it, please let me know.
Thanks so much.
John Lindsay-Poland
