Mr. Lipton:

In response to your 10-26-2016 request for 'Use of Force', please find attached a copy of sections #32 & 33 of the Monongalia County Sheriffs Office Policy / Procedure Manual. Use of Force (as well as training) may be addressed in some smaller way in other areas of the policy but these are the main sections.

On the request for 'Training Materials' I am requesting some further clarification from you on exactly what you are looking for so that we can narrow our focus to the items that you are interested in. This would include how far back you want to check, if it is individual training, etc... . Please notify me as soon as possible so we can start getting the materials that you request.

There will be no charge associated with this document.

Thank You

Ricky C. Adkins
