To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Florida Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:
A copy of all Use of Force Reports created from 05/30/2020 to 06/12/2020.
Please consult section 11.6.5.3 of Miami Police Departmental Orders (https://www.miami-police.org/DeptOrders/MPD_Departmental_Orders.pdf) for more info:
"Report To Be Made on Any Force Used: Whenever it is necessary to use any unusual physical force or other means, the member shall report this, as soon as possible, to a supervisor and submit a written report to the Chief of Police, through channels, relating all circumstances together with the arrest report on the case. Should the member have to use physical force or other means to overcome actual physical resistance, the member will, on approval of a commanding officer, also charge the subject with the appropriate charges."
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.
