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 reported from 2017-2022, separated by year.
2. the total number of use of force incidents, separated by type of force and year, from 2017-2022 (for example, information that specifies the number of taser incidents in 2022, baton incidents in 2022, taser incidents in 2021, baton incidents in 2021, 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 police used force against in 2022, broken down by race/ethnicity.
When available, I would appreciate being sent individualized data 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, 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

Good afternoon, Mr. Sinyangwe,
We received your request for multiple records. It will be reviewed, and we will be in contact with you as soon as reasonably possible. As I do not know how many records this will entail, I do not have a time frame for you as of now. Please let us know if you have any further questions in the meantime.
Thanks, and have a great day,

It should be a few weeks at most. That is dependent on the number of reports there are so it could be longer, but hopefully not. Your request is extensive so please allow us ample time to review our records to ensure you are receiving what is allowable under state law. We will be in contact with you to discuss costs as soon as possible- I do not have a time frame for that either, it also just depends on the number of records there are.

Good morning,
Our fees, as set by the governing body of Prairie Village, is $5.00 per PD report. Your request for 8 separate records will bring the total cost to $40.00. The Prairie Village Police Dept. cannot guarantee that we will have everything you are requesting, and the $5.00 fee will still apply for time spent researching. We accept cash, check, or credit card (in person only for credit cards) and payment is required before records are pulled and released. You will receive your request via email or if you prefer a CD, the cost is an additional $2.50. per disk and it can be mailed if needed. I’ve attached the fee schedule for your convenience. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or the Records Unit at 913-385-4625 Monday through Friday 8:00-4:30 CST.
Thank you,
