Hi Kamiean,
Thanks for sending this. However, my request was for data specifying the number of officer involved shootings in 2019 and 2020. The information you sent appears to be for 2020-21 and includes a much larger number of incidents than presumably would be the number of officer involved shootings. Can you please confirm the number of officer involved shootings for 2019 and 2020?
