Yes you can no issues for LEO

sorry the way I read it is that you can get EXEMPTIONS for handguns (any reason) Which this is not or for a "assault rifle" for duty use only I suggest that you check with your LOCAL FFL and get a answer from the person who would do the paperwork for the transfer https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/california_restrictions.pdf

I agree with Randy i, Marc - even though that is not the answer you wanted to hear. The way the rules are worded, it appears that LEO may only purchase 'off-roster' handguns, "For Duty Use" only. There is no exception mentioned for purchasing of non-compliant rifles. For a definitive resollution, you might consult a CA FFL licensed firearms dealer as I am sure they would know for certain.
