Subject: Oklahoma Open Records Act Request: OK sheriff data collection (2017-2022) (McClain County Clerk)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Oklahoma Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

1. the total number of use of force incidents from 2017-2022, separated by year. Please include as part of this a breakdown of how many use of force incidents in 2022 were related to law enforcement operations and how many were related to correctional/custodial operations.

2. the total number of use of force incidents, separated by year and type of force, from 2017-2022 (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 from 2017-2022, separated by year.


4. the total number of civilian complaints alleging law enforcement use of excessive force that were reported and the total number sustained from 2017-2022, separated by year.

5. the total number of civilian complaints alleging biased policing or racial profiling that were reported and the total number sustained from 2017-2022, separated by year.


6. the total number of civilian complaints alleging criminal conduct that were reported and the total number sustained from 2017-2022, separated by year.

7. the total number of officer-involved shootings from 2017-2022, both fatal and non-fatal, separated by year.
8. the total number of people who the sheriff’s department used force against, broken down by race/ethnicity, in 2022.

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 10 business days.

Sincerely,

Samuel Sinyangwe

Good Morning

Attached is the requested documentation for McClain County Detention Center.
The years that are not included in the PDF file were under a previous
administration and different filing system; researching those years will
take a considerable amount of time to complete. In reference to your request
#7 (Officer-Involved Shootings) was left off the document as none occurred
within the McClain County Detention Center; however will be addressed in the
documentation for the rest of the Sheriff's Office. Please be advised that
this document only pertains to the McClain County Detention Center and the
requested information for the remaining records will be addressed shortly.

Thank you

Captain Justin Wright
