Subject: AB 481 – Regulated Equipment and Tools
In July 2022, pursuant to Assembly Bill 481, the California State University Board of Trustees approved a system-wide Regulated Tools and Equipment Policy for its twenty-two (22) Police Departments. This policy was adopted and published by CSU Dominguez Hills Police Department (CSUDH PD) within Policy 706.
AB 481 and Policy 706 require that we publish certain information annually regarding specified regulated equipment. Of the sixteen regulated types of equipment and tools outlined in Assembly Bill 481, Cal State Dominguez Hills Police Department (CSUDH PD) only maintains the 40mm sponge tip projectile launchers, and the bean bag shotguns.
To further our efforts toward transparency and communication, CSU Dominguez Hills Police Department will host a community engagement event October 2026, in the Loker Student Union to discuss the information contained within this 2026 Annual Regulated Tools and Equipment Report memorandum. The community engagement event is open to all CSU Dominguez Hills community members.
