Good afternoon Mr. Sinyangwe,

We received your request for follow-up. The request you reference was received on January 30, 2019. It appeared to be a duplicate request, as two requests came in minutes apart, and were for the same data. Upon further review, we see that the email addresses for responses are different. We have already responded to 'requests@muckrock.com' and are now responding to this email address.

Please find the attached document responsive to your PRA Request dated January 30, 2019.
If you have any questions please contact me.

Thank you,

Hi Rebekah,

Thanks for sending this. However, it appears the information provided on the types of force used were not provided in the format requested. Specifically, I'm looking for the total number of each type of force used. For example, if police used a taser in 8 use of force incidents in 2016 and 9 incidents in 2017 then it should say Taser - 8 (2016), 9 (2017) and then also include statistics for other types of force used by year. Can you please send me this requested information.

Thanks!

Sam
