To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Oregon Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

2. the total number of civilian complaints alleging any form of law enforcement misconduct that were reported and the total number sustained from 2013-2020, separated by year (for example, 8 complaints in 2016, 2 complaints sustained in 2016, 4 complaints in 2017, 1 complaint sustained in 2017, etc.)
3. the total number of civilian complaints alleging law enforcement use of excessive force that were reported and the total number sustained from 2013-2020, separated by year.
4. the total number of civilian complaints alleging biased policing or racial profiling that were reported and the total number sustained from 2013-2020, separated by year.
5. the total number of civilian complaints alleging criminal conduct that were reported and the total number sustained from 2013-2020, separated by year.
6. all information reported to the FBI’s National Use-of-Force Data Collection program to date.

8. the total amount of money paid out in lawsuits and settlements relating to allegations of police misconduct per year from 2013-20. This includes copies of all reports, lists, databases, or individual documents that detail lawsuits brought against the city's police department and the outcome of lawsuits brought against the city's police department including any financial settlement occurring from 2013-20. It should also include any documents that your department submits to local, state, or federal agencies listing the number and/or status of lawsuits brought against the police department. This request includes any documents compiled quarterly, annually, or in other increments as well as any documents or databases that contain responsive information.
If only partial information is available responsive to one or more of these requests, please provide all of the information that is available.
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 10 business days.
Sincerely,
Samuel Sinyangwe

This agency is in receipt of your records request dated July 19, 2021. First, I have been asked to get some clarifying information on number 8. In the first sentence it asks for the amount of money paid in lawsuits and settlements relating to allegations of police misconduct. In the second sentence the request is for lawsuits brought against the police department. Are you looking for any lawsuit filed against the department or just ones relating to police misconduct? Then are you just looking for ones that only have a financial award/settlement or all?
The nature and complexity of this request will require a longer response time than a normal request. It will require several different departments to locate the requested information. Please note that the City offices are closed on Fridays. Public records requests that involve more than one half hour of staff time for identification, location, retrieval, review, and duplicating will include a charge for staff time. All records requests for which the estimate exceeds $50 will require a payment of the estimated charges in advance. The request will not be started until the deposit is received. Once I hear from all staff involved in processing this request, I will send you a quote for the required deposit.
Thank you,
