DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department responds to tactical situations where
officers require lighting. In order to provide hands-free illumination,
all firearms are issued with a mounted tactical light. The current lights
are approximately four years old. The recommended action makes available
replacement lights for current firearms, as well as to outfit new firearms
as they are issued. These newer lights provide advancements in
technology, including increased lumens, a strobe light feature, and
ambidextrous control.
