911 call recording and/or transcripts
Dear Union County,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
Will you please provide me with the two 911 call recordings/transcripts in
reference for help being requested on 1/23/2022 @ 7:33pm from cell phone
ending in *8699 from 22 Hampton Rd - Cranford?
Yours faithfully,
In God We Trust
To whom it may concern,
This email constitutes a formal and complete response to your July 19,
2022, OPRA request for the two 911 call recordings/transcripts in
reference for help being requested on 1/23/2022 @ 7:33pm from cell phone
ending in *8699 from 22 Hampton Rd – Cranford.
In accordance with N.J.A.C. 17:24-2.4 and the New Jersey State Records
Retention Schedule, the retention period for 911 recordings is 31 days.
Accordingly, the County 911 center no longer maintains a copy of this
recording. As a point of clarification, the County receives 911 calls for
Cranford Township and handles the call if it concerns a fire or a medical
situation. Calls regarding police matters are forwarded immediately to the
municipal police. If this was a police matter, you may wish to submit an
OPRA request to the Township
([1]https://www.cranfordnj.org/township-clerk) for any responsive
transcripts the agency may have on file.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. – Marlena
