Samuel Sinyangwe,
Del Norte County is in receipt of your public records act request of June
5, 2019.
The Sheriff's department does not keep aggregated data in the form you are
requesting. If you want redacted copies of the actual incident reports
involving use of force, or complaints, or internal affairs investigations,
please clarify that that is what you are seeking. These documents would be
printed, redacted, and then copied again, and thus you would be charged for
two pages for each page of produced documentation. The county's copy fee is
20 cents per page.
The policy manual and the union Memorandum of Understanding can be produced
at no charge, and will be shortly. To clarify, the contract is with the
county, not the city.
