Police Data Collection Request (2021)

Columbia Police Department Dear Samuel Sinyangwe, Thank you for reaching out to the City of Columbia on July 18, 2022 concerning your request for records. You have requested: To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the The Missouri Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:

1. the total number of use of force incidents, separated by type of force and year used in 2021 (for example, information that specifies the number of taser incidents in 2021, baton incidents in 2021, etc.)

2. the total number of civilian complaints alleging any form of law enforcement misconduct that were reported and the total number sustained in 2021.

3. the total number of civilian complaints alleging law enforcement use of excessive force that were reported and the total number sustained in 2021.

4. the total number of civilian complaints alleging biased policing or racial profiling that were reported and the total number sustained in 2021.

5. the total number of civilian complaints alleging criminal conduct that were reported and the total number sustained in 2021.

6. the total number of officer involved shootings in 2021, both fatal and non-fatal.

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 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Samuel Sinyangwe

Due to staffing turnover, out of office training requirements, and high volume of requests, the earliest we expect responsive records, if any, to be available is on or about 8/22/2022.  Before providing records our office must do the following:
1. Process and review the Sunshine request. 2. Notify relevant staff members of the request to obtain potentially responsive records that are not immediately accessible to the records custodian or staff reviews(s), if applicable. 3. Generate such terms and submit the search request to the necessary parties to obtain potentially responsive records that are not immediately accessible to the records custodian or staff reviewer(s), if applicable. 4.  Necessary parties conduct search based on the search request, and place all potentially responsive records in a format and location that is accessible to the staff reviewer(s) and records custodian. 5.  The staff reviewer(s) and/or records custodian review all potentially responsive records to determine if the items captured in the search request are responsive to the Sunshine request. 6.  If responsive records are located, staff reviewer(s) and/or records custodian must determine if the records are closed or privileged under Missouri law and make any necessary redactions. 7.  Records custodian compiles or prints responsive documents to provide to the requester. 8.  Records custodian uploads responsive documents into the records portal and notifies the requester of availability.
The above process is dependent upon the availability of other staff members to locate records, the volume of the specific request, other active Sunshine requests, and the other on-going work of staff reviews(s) and the records custodian.
The date provided above considers these circumstances to provide the responsive records at the earliest date available.  In the event they are available earlier, we will provide them as soon as they are available.  Please note that we reserve the right to close responsive records in whole or in part pursuant to law, including but not limited to Sections 610.021 and 610.035 RSMo.
Also, please note it is the policy of the City to collect fees for copying and research time as allowed by the Sunshine Law.  If there will be a cost associated with providing the records to you, the records custodian will submit an estimate of such costs which must be paid prior to processing your request.  Any delay in payment of the estimate may result in further delays in providing the requested records.
Sincerely, Jade Mills
