The Sheriff’s Office is currently researching and locating responsive documents to your public records request, and documents will be provided to you on a rolling basis as they become available. At this time, the Sheriff's Office is able to release the Use of Force Logs from our Civil Division from 2019 to 2022. Unfortunately, The Sheriff's Office does not have a spreadsheet version of these records, instead we document the "use of force" at each unit. Please see attached the logs available in the Records Request System . Please log into your online account and retrieve the records. The Sheriff's Office will provide you with a new status update no later than 02/28/2023. The Sheriff's Office receives a large number of public records requests every month. These requests are processed in the order received, and we strive to respond to each request promptly.
