Can you please clarify your request?
Use of Force Reports on retired SGT Angelo LaManna
Are you asking for reports showing the Use of Force on Retired Sgt
Lamanna?
Are you requesting Use of Force reports Sgt Lamanna may be named in
following his retirement?
Are you requesting Use of Force reports submitted from Sgt Lamanna,
prior to his retirement, and if so, do you have a specific time frame?

Once you clarify your request, I will be able to provide you with a

Dear Meredith Bendian and Chief,
I am requesting Use of Force reports submitted from Sgt Lamanna,
prior to his retirement over his 25 year career.
If this is too big of a search, let's try the last 10 years of his career.
Yours sincerely,
J.E. Maya
