To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Texas Public Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
the total number of use of force incidents, separated by year, from 2019-2021 (for example, 302 use of force incidents in 2019, 287 use of force incidents in 2020, etc.)
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.
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 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Samuel Sinyangwe

Hi, thanks for sending this information. However, the number of overall use of force incidents or reports does not appear to be included in the information you sent. Since each type of force could be used more than one time in a given incident, I'm looking for the total number of unique incidents (i.e. encounters with civilians where force was used) that occurred in each year. Can you please send these totals?
Thanks,
Sam
