Subject: Arkansas Freedom of Information Act Request: Use of force detail data 2008-2016 (North Little Rock Police Department)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

Use of force data with detail summaries for all use of force incidents from 2008-2016. Please provide the following details for each incident:

Date (year, month, day) of the incident, subject race, officer race, type of force used, whether there was subject injury, and whether there was officer injury.

I prefer csv spreadsheet format (or pdf) where each row represents an incident. Here is an example of the data I'm looking for (https://www.dallasopendata.com/Public-Safety/Police-2015-Response-to-Resistance/594v-2cnd).

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.

Please note that I am a citizen of Arkansas, and am using MuckRock's services to help manage and track my request.

Sincerely,

Dustin Jayroe

Mr. Jayroe,

I have attached the requested items.
Per NLRPD Policy, any Use of Force Incident that was ruled "In Policy" is purged/removed after four years of the incident. However, if the Use of Force was "Out of Policy" or resulted in a lawsuit it remains in the database.
The Professional Standards Unit could not locate any Use of Force Incidents prior to 2011.
In the attached document, if the officer condition/injury or citizen injury is blank, there was no reported injury.
If there were several different involved officers, different types of force used or multiple injury types to the same individual, you could see multiple rows for the same incident (IA#)number.
