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 7 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Samuel Sinyangwe

Good Morning, Mr. Sinyangwe:
Thank you again for submitting a public records request. In summary, the request submitted was seeking the total number of use of force incidents from 2016-2022, separated by type; and the total number of civilian complaints alleging the same.
After conducting research into the requested records, the City of Riverton Police Department was able to obtain reports for use of force and the type of use of force reported, which are attached. The City of Riverton Police Department does not have a tracking mechanism for civilian complaints, therefore we do not have any records to provide.
Thank you for your time; please reach out to me if you have any questions. Have a good day!
Kind Regards,
Kristin
