From: Samuel Sinyangwe

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the North Carolina Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

A spreadsheet listing all officer-involved shootings investigated by or otherwise reported to NCSBI from 2013-2020, including incident-level information specifying the date of each incident, race and gender of all subjects involved, what weapon if any they were armed with, any injuries or deaths resulting from the incident, the names of all officers involved, whether administrative investigations found the incidents to be justified under police department policy and any disciplinary actions taken against the officers as a result of the incident. If all aspects of this request are not available, please provide all relevant information responsive to this request.

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 business days.

Sincerely,

Samuel Sinyangwe

Good morning.
I have reviewed your request for information. Some of the information you have requested is not a public record per NCGS 132-1.4. For the information that is public, we do not have the information contained all in one spreadsheet for the time period that you requested. I am in the process of consulting with our records division to determine what information we have available.
I hope to have a response, including the available information, to you by next week.
Sincerely,

Joy Strickland

Attached are spreadsheets for the officer involved shootings that the NC SBI has been requested to investigate for the period of 2016-2020. We are in the process of compiling the information that you requested for the years of 2013-2015 and will forward that upon completion. The other information that you requested is information that is not a public record or is information that is not compiled by the SBI (ex. Administrative actions and whether the officer was disciplined or not is a matter for the employing agency, not the SBI).
Feel free to email me or call me at the number listed below if you have questions.
Sincerely,

Joy Strickland
