To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Florida Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:

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.)

Good Afternoon,
The below requested records for 2019 can be offloaded here:
https://dl.hernandosheriff.org/index.php/s/5i24aMG8ZbZQrjt
Please be advised that I am unable to RE-PROVIDE you with prior years data due to Marsy's Law.
I would have to go back through each record which was released to you already (pre Marsy's Law) to check for victims of crimes from the citizen complaints.
This data was previously provided to you up through 2018 in an earlier request.
If you wish for me to re-provide you with this data, please let me know as there will be an additional deposit due to the time it will take to go back through all the documents.
Additionally, let me know when you have offloaded the records so I can close the portal.
Best Regards,
