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 reported from 2017-2022, separated by year.
2. the total number of use of force incidents, separated by type of force and year, from 2017-2022 (for example, information that specifies the number of taser incidents in 2022, baton incidents in 2022, taser incidents in 2021, baton incidents in 2021, 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 police used force against in 2022, broken down by race/ethnicity.
When available, I would appreciate being sent individualized data 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, 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

Mr. Sinyangwe,
Good afternoon - I work in the Records Division for the Bartlesville Police Department and am currently working on your open records request regarding use of force incidents and officer complaints. I am writing to let you know that at this time, I have logged two hours getting these statistics pulled for your request. I am estimating at least another two hours to complete the rest of the research. Once the research is completed, I will send you a cost letter for your request, and we will require payment be received before we are able to share that information with you. I am expected to be out most of next week for medical reasons, so your request may not get filled until the second week of April. If you have any questions please feel free to email me.
Thank you,
Chelsea Boyd

I'm following up on the following Oklahoma Open Records Act request, copied below, and originally submitted on March 19, 2024. You had previously indicated that it would be completed on April 14, 2022. I wanted to check on the status of my request, and to see if there was a new estimated completion date.

Good morning,
I don’t believe I specified that I would have your FOIA request completed by a certain date as I am only one of two employees that work here in the records division. That being said, I am continuing to work on your request between the other daily tasks that I have to complete here in records. Please understand that your request involves me getting information from people outside my division as well as those others having to complete their daily job functions as well. When I am able to complete your request, I will reach out to you with a cost letter.
Thank you,
Chelsea Boyd
