To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, 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 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Samuel Sinyangwe

Local Emergency Information Regarding California Public Records Acts Requests
The City of Escondido is closely monitoring the outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States declared a National Emergency in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in the State of California due to the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the State. On March 16, 2020, the City also declared a local emergency.
In light of these declarations and related public health orders and guidelines, the City has undertaken measures to maintain a safe and healthy community and to protect City employees. Such measures include having City employees work remotely and a refocus of city resources being placed on essential City functions.
The City is mindful of its obligations under the Public Records Act. However, at this time, given that only essential City functions are being performed by a limited number of staff members, the City’s production of responsive records may and likely will be significantly delayed. We apologize for any inconvenience.
