To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Florida Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:

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.). Please include as part of this a breakdown of how many use of force incidents in each year were related to law enforcement operations and how many were related to correctional/custodial operations.

Sincerely,
Samuel Sinyangwe
