Good afternoon Mr. Sinyangwe,

This email is in response to your public records request (JustFOIA 2023-11722) for:

"Pursuant to the Florida Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records: 1. the total number of use of force incidents in 2022. 2. the total number of use of force incidents, separated by type of force, in 2022 (for example, information that specifies the number of taser incidents in 2022, baton incidents in 2022, etc.) 3. the total number of civilian complaints against law enforcement that were reported and the total number sustained for 2022. 4. the total number of civilian complaints alleging law enforcement use of excessive force that were reported and the total number sustained for 2022. 5. the total number of civilian complaints alleging biased policing or racial profiling that were reported and the total number sustained for 2022. 6. the total number of civilian complaints alleging criminal conduct that were reported and the total number sustained for 2022. 7. the total number of officer-involved shootings in 2022, both fatal and non-fatal. 8. the total number of people who police used force against, broken down by race/ethnicity, in 2022. When available, I would appreciate being sent individualized data in this request in spreadsheet format. If individualized data are unavailable, please send information that includes aggregate statistics for the item instead. Note that my requests for civilian complaints are specifically for civilian complaints, please do not include complaints filed by one officer/the department against another officer. The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not."
