Pursuant to the Texas Public Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

3. the total number of civilian complaints against law enforcement that were reported and the total number sustained for 2022.
4. the total number of civilian complaints alleging law enforcement use of excessive force that were reported and the total number sustained for 2022.

When available, I would appreciate being sent individualized data 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, 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 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Samuel Sinyangwe

Good afternoon,
Please be advised that we submitted a request to the Attorney General to withhold the information requested. I have included the letter that was sent to the Attorney General.
Section 552.304 of the Public Information Act permits any person to submit written comments as to why information at issue in a request for an attorney general decision should or should not be released. To be considered, such comments must be received before the attorney general renders a decision and must be submitted pursuant to sections 552.308 and 552.309. Should you choose to exercise this option, we request that you send a copy of your comments to the City.
You will be advised of the response from the Attorney General once they make a ruling.
Thank you,
From: Grand Prairie Police Department
