Hello MuckRock News,
All responsive data is attached with the exception of use of force incidents for 2013. The Alameda Police Department could not locate a pre-existing spreadsheet which breaks down use of force incidents by type of force used for 2013.
Feel free to contact me, if you have any further questions.
