To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Colorado Open Records Act, I hereby request the following
records:

1. the total number of use of force incidents reported from 2017-2022,
separated by year.

2. the total number of use of force incidents, separated by type of force
and year, from 2017-2022 (for example, information that specifies the
number of taser incidents in 2022, baton incidents in 2022, taser incidents
in 2021, baton incidents in 2021, etc.)

3. the total number of civilian complaints against law enforcement that
were reported and the total number sustained from 2017-2022, separated by
year.

4. the total number of civilian complaints alleging law enforcement use of
excessive force that were reported and the total number sustained from
2017-2022, separated by year.

5. the total number of civilian complaints alleging biased policing or
racial profiling that were reported and the total number sustained from
2017-2022, separated by year.

6. the total number of civilian complaints alleging criminal conduct that
were reported and the total number sustained from 2017-2022, separated by

fatal and non-fatal, separated by year.

8. the total number of people who police used force against in 2022, broken
down by race/ethnicity.

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.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I
look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business
days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Samuel Sinyangwe

Hello Mr. Sinyangwe,

I remembered hearing from you last month with a similar request to the one
you sent yesterday so I thought I'd reach out. In order to avoid any delay
in getting you the information you need in the future, please update your
records to reach out directly to the police department rather than
contacting us in the City Clerk's office. Here is the contact information
again:

Enter your request at https://app.govquest.com/sessions * OR *go to
Broomfield.org/police, navigate to the Records section and click the link
to request a report online.

Please give us a call if you have any questions.
Thanks!
Cathy
