To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Wyoming Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
A spreadsheet listing all officer-involved shootings investigated by or otherwise reported to your agency that occurred from 2013-2021, 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, the names of all officers involved, whether administrative investigations found the incidents to be justified under police department policy and any disciplinary actions taken against the officers as a result of the incident. If all aspects of this request are not available, please provide all relevant information responsive to this request.
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 7 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Samuel Sinyangwe

Hello,
Our office does not have any records responsive to your May 26 request.
Under Wyoming Statute § 16-4-202(d)(iii), a governmental entity is not
required to compile data, extract data, or create a new document to comply
with an electronic record request. To produce records in response to your
request, the office would have to extract and compile data to create a new
document. In addition, it would be impractical and impair the duties of the
office to do so. Accordingly, this office will not produce records in
response to this request.
Thanks,
Megan
