To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Missouri Sunshine Law and the Missouri Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

-A roster of all St. Louis County Police Department officers who completed the most recent annual use of force and/or tactical weapons training, as well as officers who did not complete or pass the courses.

-Copies of all documents sent to the St. Louis County Police Department to notify the department that one of its officers did not complete a required training course. This should pertain to any training course.

-A copy of any manuals, presentations, or other educational material used to educate police officers on the proper use of non-lethal force, specifically regarding rubber bullets and tear gas.

I understand that some of the requested material will include the names and possibly other personal identifying information for police officers. I would like to make it clear that I understand names and other personal information, such as addresses and phone numbers, may have to be redacted pursuant to Missouri's sunshine law.

I request that all fees be waived for this request as i am a journalist -- employed by MuckRock and the Boston Globe -- and intend to use the requested documents to educate the public through my reporting on St. Louis County police procedures.

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 3 business days, as the statute requires.
