I prefer csv spreadsheet format (or pdf) where each row represents an incident. Here is an example of the data I'm looking for (https://www.dallasopendata.com/Public-Safety/Police-2015-Response-to-Resistance/594v-2cnd).

This assertion of the City’s authority to extend the time to reply shall not serve as a waiver of any privileges or exemptions to disclosure pursuant to applicable provisions of the CPRA and any other applicable statutory and/or case law authority.
