To Whom It May Concern:

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

1. Shift length/times of all Student Resource Officers (SROs) employed in the county dating from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019. In particular the data should include (although not restricted to): officer badge number, date of shift, hours of shift (e.g. 9:00-17:00), race of officer, age of officer, experience of officer, and school assigned to.

2. Of the officers in item (1) above, shift length/times of every shift the officer has worked within the department regardless of assignment. For instance, if an officer was assigned as an SRO in 2017, I am looking for all of their completed shift data from January 1, 2010 - December 31, 2019 including: officer badge number, date of shift, hours of shift (same as above in (1)).

3. For each officer in item (1), all use-of-force reports and complaints filed by/against each officer.

4. All student arrests made by SRO officers from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019. Information should include student race/age/sex, date of occurrence, and SRO badge number.
