To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Washington Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
1. the total number of use of force incidents, separated by type of force and year used in 2021 (for example, information that specifies the number of taser incidents in 2021, baton incidents in 2021, etc.). Please include as part of this a breakdown of how many use of force incidents in each year were related to law enforcement operations and how many were related to correctional/custodial operations.
2. the total number of civilian complaints alleging any form of law enforcement misconduct that were reported and the total number sustained in 2021.
3. the total number of civilian complaints alleging law enforcement use of excessive force that were reported and the total number sustained in 2021.
4. the total number of civilian complaints alleging biased policing or racial profiling that were reported and the total number sustained in 2021.
5. the total number of civilian complaints alleging criminal conduct that were reported and the total number sustained in 2021.
6. the total number of officer involved shootings in 2021, both fatal and non-fatal.
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 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Samuel Sinyangwe

RE: Sheriff Records Request of October 31, 2022, Reference # S000773-103122 Good afternoon. This letter serves as our acknowledgement to your Public Records Request dated October 31, 2022, pursuant to RCW 42.56.520, in which you asked for use of force reports and civilian complaints for the year 2021. We process records requests in the order in which they are received and your request is currently in the queue. I estimate two to three weeks will be required to make a preliminary assessment of available records, to review the records for responsiveness and possible exemptions and redactions, and to assemble the final collection of documents. It may help to understand that Island County is comprised of multiple “agencies” for the purposes of the Public Records Act. This is because county government is an amalgam of independently elected officials who maintain exclusive control over their areas of authority, with respect to other county officials. We maintain exclusive control over the records that pertain to the operation of the Island County Sheriff’s Office. For questions or additional information, please reply to this email.
