Ross Police report shows no department military equipment; council renews military‑equipment policy
Summary
The Ross Police Department reported it holds no military equipment; the council received the annual military equipment report noting two outside‑agency incidents and renewed Ordinance 715 by resolution 2527.
The Ross Town Council received the Ross Police Department’s annual military equipment report and adopted Resolution 2527 renewing Ordinance 715, the town’s military equipment use policy.
Chief Prada reported Ross Police Department does not possess military equipment. The report documented two incidents where outside agencies used equipment in town: an unmanned aerial vehicle deployed by the Marin County Sheriff’s Department on April 13 to search for a missing person, and an instance on Nov. 2 when a protection detail for a visiting state politician remained on private property with armed personnel and did not enter public areas.
"We do not have any military equipment at the Ross Police Department," Chief Prada said. He told the council the department sometimes requests assistance from outside agencies that possess equipment classified under state reporting requirements.
The council voted unanimously to renew Ordinance 715 and to accept the annual report.
