To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Wyoming Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
1. the total number of use of force incidents, separated by year, from 2016-2022 (for example, 302 use of force incidents in 2016, 287 use of force incidents in 2017, etc.)
2. the total number of use of force incidents, separated by type of force used and year, from 2016-2022 (for example, information that specifies the number of taser incidents in 2020, baton incidents in 2020, etc.). Please include as part of this a breakdown of how many use of force incidents in each year were related to law enforcement operations and how many were related to correctional/custodial operations.
3. the total number of civilian complaints alleging any form of law enforcement misconduct that were reported and the total number sustained, separated by year, from 2016-2022.
4. the total number of civilian complaints alleging law enforcement use of excessive force that were reported and the total number sustained, separated by year, from 2016-2022.

6. the total number of civilian complaints alleging criminal conduct that were reported and the total number sustained, separated by year, from 2016-2022.
When available, I would appreciate being sent individualized data for each item 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 alleging police misconduct, 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 7 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Samuel Sinyangwe

Good morning Samuel,
Please see the below message sent for clarification. The message was sent earlier today, but it appears there was a problem with your email address. Please respond as soon as possible so we can begin processing this request:
Prior Message:
Good morning Samuel,
I am reaching out regarding the public records requests you submitted on March 17, 2023. It appears you have submitted duplicate request, 23-41 and 23-42. I will be closing request 23-42 as a duplicate request unless you indicate a need for the information to be submitted twice.
Prior to moving forward with this request, please indicate a dollar amount you are willing to spend on this request as the Campbell County Sheriff's office has their own fee schedule and the nature of this request will require time to complete. Once we have a dollar amount indicated, we can begin to work within those parameters, if the total amount for the information you are requesting will be more than you have indicated, we will be in contact to obtain your approval before moving forward.
Additionally, due to the amount of information and the time frame you are requesting records for, this request may take more than 7 days to complete. Per Wyoming Statute 16-4-202 (c)(iii), "All public records shall be released not later than thirty (30) calendar days from the date of acknowledged receipt of the request unless good cause exists preventing release as authorized by paragraph (iv) of this subsection;" In the unlikely event this information will take more than 30 days to complete, we will be in contact to provide you with a timeline for completion.
To recap, before we can begin this request, please indicate a dollar amount you are willing to spend. Additionally, please let me know if you need the information twice or if request 23-42 can be closed as a duplicate.
Thank you for your time. Please reach out with any quesitons.

Sam,
I'm not sure on the amount as it will depend on the time it will take to put all the information together. I can only assume it will be approximately eight hours at $25/hour. The fee for each of the reports would be $2 for the first page and $1 for each page there-after.
