To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Wisconsin Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
1. the total number of use of force incidents reported by law enforcement, separated by year and by type of force used from 2013-2015, and 2020 (for example: 27 taser incidents in 2013, 16 taser incidents in 2014, 3 baton incidents in 2013, 4 baton incidents in 2014, etc.)
2. the total number of civilian complaints alleging any form of law enforcement misconduct that were reported and the total number sustained from 2013-2015, and 2020, separated by year (for example: 8 complaints in 2013, 2 complaints sustained in 2013, 4 complaints in 2014, 1 complaint sustained in 2014, etc.)
3. the total number of civilian complaints alleging law enforcement use of excessive force that were reported and the total number sustained from 2013-2015, and 2020, separated by year.
4. the total number of civilian complaints alleging biased policing or racial profiling that were reported and the total number sustained from 2013-2015, and 2020, separated by year.
5. the total number of civilian complaints alleging criminal conduct that were reported and the total number sustained from 2013-2015, and 2020, separated by year.
6. all information reported to the FBI’s National Use-of-Force Data Collection program to date.
7. a list of all officer involved shootings that were directed at a person from 2013-2020 (excluding shootings of animals and accidental discharges that are not directed at a person).
If only partial information is available responsive to one or more of these requests, please provide all of the information that is available.
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.
Sincerely,
Samuel Sinyangwe

To Whom It May Concern:
I wanted to follow up on the following Wisconsin Open Records Act request, copied below, and originally submitted on Aug. 18, 2021. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response.
Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.
From: Green Bay Police Department
Good Afternoon,
We are actively working on this request. A portion (numbers 1 and 7) will be ready for release early next week.
The remainder (numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5) consist of a manual search of records, which just doing an initial assessment, would take a substantial amount of time to review each complaint and provide responsive records.
We do not have responsive records for number 6, as we do not report to the National Use-of-Force Data Collection program.
Thank you
Respectfully,
Lisa M. Wachowski

Good Afternoon,
Please see attached response for #1 and #7 of your open records request.
As mentioned previously, numbers 2, 3, 4, 5 involve manual reviews of close to 300 files; which to accomplish without causing an undo burden on the Internal Affairs Department, I would estimate at least several months to complete. Please advise if you want us to proceed.
We do not have responsive records for #6 as we do not report to the National Use Of Force Data Collection; which is not mandated.
Thank you
Respectfully,
Lisa M. Wachowski
