To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Government Records Access and Management Act, I hereby request the following records:
1. the total number of use of force incidents, separated by year and by type of force used from 2016-2019 (for example, "27 taser incidents in 2016, 3 baton incidents in 2017, etc.)
2. the total number of civilian complaints alleging any form of law enforcement misconduct that were reported and the total number sustained, separated by year (for example, 8 complaints in 2016, 2 complaints sustained in 2017, 4 complaints in 2018, 1 complaint sustained in 2019, etc.)
3. the total number of civilian complaints alleging law enforcement use of excessive force that were reported and the total number sustained from 2016-2019, separated by year
4. the total number of civilian complaints alleging biased policing or racial profiling that were reported and the total number sustained from 2016-2019, separated by year
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 10 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Samuel Sinyangwe

Hello-
This is a new request correct? I have not previously requested this, you last request was regarding Banjo, am I correct?
You just said a follow up to a previous request....this will be treated as a new request.
Thanks!

I am so sorry, I actually meant to also address that this was originally to the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office. Could you please submit (via e mail to me) a new request addressing the information you would like but to Unified Police Department?
Thank you!

From: Salt Lake City Unified Police Department
I just want to make sure I know, you are requesting UPD's numbers on all of this correct?
I reached out to our division that would handle portions of this request and just upfront, our system that they retrieve all of this from does not give a specific return on the type of force used. It would just be the number of total cases, not specific to type of force.
Thanks!
