From: Samuel Sinyangwe
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Louisiana Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:
1. the total number of use of force incidents, separated by type of force and year used in 2021 (for example, information that specifies the number of taser incidents in 2021, baton incidents in 2021, etc.). Please include as part of this a breakdown of how many use of force incidents in each year were related to law enforcement operations and how many were related to correctional/custodial operations.
2. the total number of civilian complaints alleging any form of law enforcement misconduct that were reported and the total number sustained in 2021.
3. the total number of civilian complaints alleging law enforcement use of excessive force that were reported and the total number sustained in 2021.
4. the total number of civilian complaints alleging biased policing or racial profiling that were reported and the total number sustained in 2021.
5. the total number of civilian complaints alleging criminal conduct that were reported and the total number sustained in 2021.
6. the total number of officer involved shootings in 2021, both fatal and non-fatal.
When available, I would appreciate being sent individualized data for each item in this request in spreadsheet format. If individualized data are unavailable, please send information that includes aggregate statistics for the item instead.
Note that my requests for civilian complaints are specifically for civilian complaints alleging police misconduct, please do not include complaints filed by one officer/the department against another officer.
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.
Sincerely,
Samuel Sinyangwe

This is to confirm we received the public records request listed above regarding use of force and complaints. We will begin a review of the information and prepare the response. The Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office charges a fee of $1.25 per page for this service. Once the scope is determined, I will email to this same email address the amount due and payment procedure. Once payment is received, the responsive
documents will be forwarded to our legal counsel for review and redaction of any information that is not public record. Once the review is completed, the information will be emailed to this same email address for delivery to the person requesting the information.
If possible, for future requests from MuckRock, we prefer emailed requests instead of faxes. This would better serve all parties involved. Emailed requests can be sent to my email address shown in the heading of this email. Also, for internet security reasons, we do not key in unidentifiable email links listed in faxes. Since your MuckRock email address used in this email is identifiable, we are responding to it and will use it for any future correspondence unless we are able to use direct email, not faxes
Please see that this response is delivered to Mr. Sinyangwe.
Thank you.
