Samuel Sinyangwe,
I am requesting clarification on the below request. I need to know exactly the information you are seeking. Are you wanting case files? Are you just wanting list of the information?
When you say all officers involved, are you wanting all officers on the scene or just the ones that their weapon was used?

8. All records regarding civilian deaths or serious injuries resulting from police use of force between 2013-2018, including incident-level information specifying the date of each incident, race and gender of all subjects involved, what weapon if any they were armed with, any injuries or deaths resulting from the incident and the names of all officers involved.
