From: Samuel Sinyangwe

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the North Carolina Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

1. the total number of use of force incidents in 2022.

2. the total number of use of force incidents, separated by type of force, in 2022 (for example, information that specifies the number of taser incidents in 2022, baton incidents in 2022, etc.)

3. the total number of civilian complaints against law enforcement that were reported and the total number sustained for 2022.

4. the total number of civilian complaints alleging law enforcement use of excessive force that were reported and the total number sustained for 2022.

5. the total number of civilian complaints alleging biased policing or racial profiling that were reported and the total number sustained for 2022.

6. the total number of civilian complaints alleging criminal conduct that were reported and the total number sustained for 2022.

7. the total number of officer-involved shootings in 2022, both fatal and non-fatal.

8. the total number of people who police used force against, broken down by race/ethnicity, in 2022.

When available, I would appreciate being sent individualized data 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, 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 10 business days.

Sincerely,

Samuel Sinyangwe

From:

The attached Raleigh Police Department Annual Report contains a great deal of data about the department and its operations. We also have many data sets available online, which you can from links at https://raleighnc.gov/police. An info sheet about using the RPD Open Data Portal is also attached. You can also run reports for yourself at https://raleighnc.gov/safety/crime-statistics.

The Raleigh Police Department does not have or maintain a record or document containing the data you are seeking specific to gender, and race and ethnicity – and therefore, there are not any responsive public records beyond those indicated above.

Lt. Jason Borneo handles media inquiries for RPD and is copied on this email. I’ve also included the shared inbox fro RPD media inquiries. Please reach out to both together if you have any follow up questions.

Regards,
Sarah
