To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
The total number of use of force incidents, separated by type of force used (i.e. applications of force by technique) in 2020 (for example, "27 taser incidents in 2020, 3 baton incidents in 2020, etc.). Note this information is not specified in the 2020 APD Preliminary Annual Use of Force Report.
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 15 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,

Hello Samuel,
We are currently processing a high volume of requests for public records. Your request is still open with our office, and we apologize for the delay. We are still gathering or reviewing records that may be responsive to your request. Your request was originally assigned to the incorrect unit within APD to gather the records and unfortunately it was not forwarded to the correct unit for processing in a timely manner.
Please be advised that there is a possibility that there may not be an existing report that breaks down the types of force used in the manner you are requesting.
My office will communicate with you as those records become available.
Thank you for your patience.
