To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
1. The total number of police uses of force in 2018, broken down by type of force used (i.e. number of uses of tasers, number of uses of baton, etc.)
2. The total number of use of force complaints reported by civilians in 2018
3. The total number of use of force complaints reported by civilians that were sustained in 2018

All arrests data reported to the California Department of Justice via the Monthly Arrests and Citation Register program covering arrests made in 2017 and 2018, including (but not limited to) the age, race/ethnicity, gender, offense category (felony, misdemeanor, status offense), charge and disposition of arrestees.
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 calendar days, as the statute requires.

2018 Types of Use of Force
From: Samuel Sinyangwe
Hi, thanks for sending this. However, it appears you’ve sent data on reported crimes to the UCR rather than the *arrests* data reported via the Monthly Arrests and Citations Register. Please send the requested data on arrests.
Thanks!
Sam

To Whom It May Concern:
I wanted to follow up on the following California Public Records Act request, copied below, and originally submitted on July 16, 2019. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response.
Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.
From: Oxnard Police Department
Subject: Public Records Act Request #19-280
Dear Mr. Sinyangwe:
In follow up to your recent email dated August 14, 2019, our Police Records
Manager's response is as follows:
We do not provide monthly reports to the California Dept. of Justice in the
format you requested. The exact report on arrests that the City of Oxnard
Police Department submits to the DOJ is what we provided previously
(attached for your reference).
Furthermore, to create a report in the suggested format would require
significant staff labor time to manually extrapolate data from the Records
Management System for each category requested.
This concludes the City's response and closes PRA request file #19-280.
If you have any questions or concerns you can email me or call (805)
385-7803.
Sincerely,
*Elizabeth Rubalcava, Assistant City ClerkCity of Oxnard: *300 W. Third
