To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Ohio Open Records Law, I hereby request the following records:
1. the total number of use of force incidents for 2016.
2. the total number of use of force incidents, separated by type of force and year used from 2016-2017 (for example, information that specifies the number of taser incidents in 2016, baton incidents in 2016, etc.)
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.
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
From: Parma Police Department
Hello – Use of Force was not tracked until September 2016. From September through December 2016 there was a total of 2. In 2017 there were 9 Use of Force incidents. However, at that time we were unable to track the type of force used so I am unable to provide those statistic to you.
Respectfully,
Jody
