Good afternoon,

We will need an extension of time to 12/29/23 to respond to your OPRA request for police report 23PM04550 because the report has not been finalized. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Thank you.

Hello,

Please be advised your request requires additional time to fulfill because the information requires attorney review and redaction of confidential information. OPRA allows custodians to seek extensions of time pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.i. Specifically, OPRA states that, “the requestor shall be advised by the custodian when the record can be made available. If the record is not made available by that time, access shall be deemed denied.”

Your request requires an additional extension of time until January 12, 2024. If the record is available prior to that date, it will be provided to you.

If your request for access to a government record has been denied or unfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a right to challenge the decision. At your option, you may either institute a proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey or file a complaint with the Government Records Council (GRC) by completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form. You may contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ, 08625, by e-mail at [email address], or at their web site at www.state.nj.us/grc. The GRC can also answer other questions about the law. All questions regarding complaints filed in Superior Court should be directed to the Court Clerk in your County.

Thank you.
