Context

A requestor has asked for help locating public misconduct/excessive force records for Officer Sean Patrick Grayson. He has worked at 6 police agencies in the last 4 years.

Reaching out to see if your team has the ability to pull officer conduct/excessive force complaint files for a specific officer? [...] Below is the employment history of Officer Sean Patrick Grayson of Illnios who recently killed Sonya Massey. Video footage is circulating and I am looking to find out if this officer had numerous complaints from community members.

  2. Check each of the agencies below for published misconduct reports.
