To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the The Kansas 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 3 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Samuel Sinyangwe

From: Miami Sheriff
Mr. Sinyangwe:
You have requested a significant number of records created over the past six years that are not
maintained in one readily accessible database or in one specific record.
It will cost $229.93 to research and determine whether this information exists or can be reasonably retrieved
and produced.
Please forward payment to me in that amount and we will begin the process.
Please note that we will not hold or save records prior to payment, so if there is a delay in payment, some
records may no longer be available due to ordinary retention limits or electronic storage limitations.
It will take approximately three weeks from the date payment is received to gather and produce the records,
if any.
Respectfully,
Brenda McCain
