This includes copies of all reports, lists, databases, or individual documents that detail lawsuits brought against the city's police department and the outcome of lawsuits brought against the city's police department including any financial settlement occurring from 2013-20. It should also include any documents that your department submits to local, state, or federal agencies listing the number and/or status of lawsuits brought against the police department. This request includes any documents compiled quarterly, annually, or in other increments as well as any documents or databases that contain responsive information.
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.

Hi there

The City of Lakewood received your public records request, however in order to provide the best assistance we require clarification
The Lakewood Police Department's Crime Analyst has started reviewing documents and found a large amount of responsive records. This would take a considerable amount of time to review for release and then to produce the records. Do you have a way to narrow down the search?
.If you have any questions, please contact us at 253-983-7801.
