From: Samuel Sinyangwe
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
1. the total number of use of force incidents, separated by year, from 2016-2020 (for example, 302 use of force incidents in 2016, 287 use of force incidents in 2017, etc.)
2. the total number of use of force incidents, separated by type of force and year used from 2016-2020 (for example, information that specifies the number of taser incidents in 2016, baton incidents in 2016, 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 calendar days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Samuel Sinyangwe

Good afternoon Samuel Sinyangwe, please the attached excel spreadsheets containing the information you requested. All of our Use of Force Records are only maintained for 5 years so I was only able to provide records from 2018-2020. The spreadsheet marked "Total UOF Incidents" gives the total individual number of incidents involving force for each year. The other three spreadsheets brakes down by type of force used, but most times, multiple force options are used during a single use of force incident. Therefore, the total number of types of force used will be significantly greater then the overall number of incidents. Please let me know if you have any questions.
