To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the North Carolina Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:
1. Shift length/times of all Student Resource Officers (SROs) employed by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department dating from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019. In particular the data should include (although not restricted to): officer badge number, date of shift, hours of shift (e.g. 9:00-17:00), race of officer, age of officer, experience of officer, and school assigned to.
2. Of the officers in item (1) above, shift length/times of every shift the officer has worked within the department regardless of assignment. For instance, if an officer was assigned as an SRO in 2017, I am looking for all of their completed shift data from January 1, 2010 - December 31, 2019 including: officer badge number, date of shift, hours of shift (same as above in (1)).
3. For each officer in item (1), all use-of-force reports and complaints filed by/against each 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 10 business days.
Sincerely,
Michael Topper

Please note that this request has been ignored and passed around through two separate entities: Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police, and the City of Charlotte. My original reference number (rLyGM9ICHaDf6y4O) and corresponding request (dated June 20, 2022) was never responded to, nor acknowledged by the City of Charlotte—a copy of the request is attached to this email for reference.
After speaking with someone from the City of Charlotte help center, they told me that the records I seek are from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police. Please note that I have also attached my original request to Charlotte Mecklenburg Police as well.
