To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Georgia Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
Use of force data with detail summaries for all use of force incidents from 2008-2016. Please provide the following details for each incident:
Date (year, month, day) of the incident, subject race, officer race, type of force used, whether there was subject injury, and whether there was officer injury.
I prefer csv spreadsheet format (or pdf) where each row represents an incident. Here is an example of the data I'm looking for (https://www.dallasopendata.com/Public-Safety/Police-2015-Response-to-Resistance/594v-2cnd).
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,
A. Johnson
From: Clayton County Police Department

Good Afternoon,
I have received a response from the Office of Professional Standards in reference to your request for Use of Force data.
Data was not collected electronically until 2011, therefore only 2011 to 2019 is available electronically. Researching and compiling only that electronic data is estimated to take approximately 5 days at $39.25 per hour (no other employees other than OPS Commander have access to allow them to generate those reports)
If you want a manual search and manual compilation of records from 2008 to 2010, there is an estimated completion time of 8 to 10 weeks to determine if records exist for that time period due to the fact that archive boxes would have to be individually located and searched to see what records are available, and then that data would have to be manually compiled.
Please advise if you would like to move forward with this request and an estimate letter will be created and sent for approval.
