The Chino City Council on the dais voted unanimously to approve an ordinance updating the Chino Police Departmentmilitary equipment use policy following a short presentation and no public comments.
An agency official who presented the equipment described it as "not armed," saying "it is just basically a camera that can be used to get a better view of a situation," and noted the device can manipulate objects (the official said the unit was holding a Sprite can used to open doors). After the demonstration the presenter invited questions; there were none from the public.

Mayor Pro Tem Burton made the motion to adopt the ordinance; Council member Comstock seconded. The presiding official called the vote and the item passed unanimously.
The ordinance updates how the city governs use of specified devices and equipment by the police department. The council then proceeded to the next agenda item, the city's annual comprehensive financial report.
