11/02/2022 RE: PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUEST #G019484-101722
Dear Requestor: This letter serves as clarification for the responsive City documents that were released to you on 11/01/2022.
Please note the corrected Use of Force 2021 Annual Report attached. Please be advised that Page 2 and Page 3 of the 2021 Use of Force Report contained typographical errors stating the data was "2020" data when in fact it is 2021 data being discussed. This is due to using a multi-year template for the document. Please note no data is changed in this update, only the references to "2020" when in fact it should have said "2021."
We apologize for any inconvenience, and p lease feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Frances Sellers Open Records Coordinator P.O. Box 409 | Georgetown, Texas 78627-0409 | tel (512) 931-7667 | (512) 930-8473
