To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
1. The total number of use of force incidents, separated by year, from 2017-2021 (for example, information that specifies the number of use of force incidents in 2017, use of force incidents in 2018, etc.)
2. The total number of use of force incidents, separated by year and type of force used, from 2017-2021 (for example, information that specifies the number of taser incidents in 2017, taser incidents in 2018, etc.)
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 3 business days, as the statute requires.

To Whom It May Concern:

From: North Little Rock Police Department
Good Morning,
We apologize for the delay. We have been inundated with requests and are working to processes each request in the order they were received.
We thank you for your patience. Attached with this email is a document which contains the information responsive to your request.
When reviewing the document you will notice that the total number of use of force incidents may differ than the total numbers under the type of force tally. The difference in the numbers is attributed to an incident having more than one type force used during the incident. For example: An incident may have started with directional control and ended with the deployment of OC Spray. The incident still counts as one incident but the type of force (1. Directional Control 2. OC Spray) would be counted separately under the type of force tally.
Recently, we implemented new software to assist our organization with the receiving and processing of FOIA Requests. For future request, we encourage you to visit www.nlrpolice.org<http://www.nlrpolice.org> and follow the FOIA link which will give you access to the new FOIA portal. However, we will continue to receive and process any FOIA Requests that are received outside of the portal in accordance with the law.
Again, thank you for your patience and understanding.
Respectfully,
Media Relations Bureau
North Little Rock Police Department
