#OakMtg Tonight, 6-8p, the Militarized Equipment ad hoc is maybe going to finish the explosive breaching policy, the last of the policies written to comply with AB 481. (Hope springs eternal.)
Zoom link and phone access info here: oaklandca.gov/topics/militar…
To date, explosive breaching has not been used outside of field training. If OPD were willing to make it off limits, they wouldn't need to write a policy about it. Conversation's been in light of that: #OakMtg
Charge have storage requirements and have to be replaced every 5 yrs, and learning how to use them takes training- so there are costs to keeping explosive breaching as an option #OakMtg
While Police Commission meetings have been allowing comment only from people in City Hall chambers, ad hoc committees are still on Zoom and allow commenting that way. Especially nice given that another atmospheric river's expected tonight #OakMtg
