Dear requestor,
You are indicating that you cannot access the records that we sent you. I am sorry to hear that you are having a problem. My staff and I take grade pride in responding to all the requests that we receive in a timely fashion. In fact, we responded to your request within three business days from the time that we received your request. I understand that you are using a third party service to request records but I am not sure how that website works.

However, upon receipt of your request, our office sends you an automated email along with all the necessary access information to ensure that you can securely access your records. Through the County's website, you submit your request, if you prefer you may do this anonymously, and you can access the request and records at any time. All your requests and responses are stored in our system and are easily accessible by using your email address. However, we understand that you may prefer to use other services to submit your request, but please make sure to keep the login and password that we send you so that you will not be inconvenienced in the future. As such, I did send you another email through our system and attached the records in that email. Additionally, you could access the records through the website using the email and login information that you used to send the records. If that does not work, please contact the 3nd party vendor that you are using for further assistance.

For future requests, you may submit your request by clicking on https://camdencountynj.mycusthelp.com/WE...
use your email and create a pass word. If you need additional help, our email address is [email address]
