In an effort to facilitate your office's response, and because some data related to the first two points of my request have been disclosed in compliance with AB 481, I am reducing my request to point #3 of the request:
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".
Please reply acknowledging receipt of this amendment to my October 2021 Public Records Act request.
Sincerely,
John Lindsay-Poland
