Dear Ocean County Sheriff's Department,

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:

Please provide an export of the fields of digital data contained within the Active911 dispatch software in electronic spreadsheet (Excel or CSV) format detailing all alarms/calls for March 1, 2021-March 31, 2021 (redacting/excluding call comments). There is an Active911 account created under the name "Ocean County Fire & EMS" registered to the department's address at 138 Chestnut Street, Toms River, so that is the account I am referring to.

PS: When I went to make my monthly request today, I noticed someone else is now requesting items from you as "Resident" via OPRA Machine. That's not me. Sorry for any confusion. I'll sign mine as "Ocean County Resident" from now on to avoid any confusion.

Yours sincerely,

Ocean County Resident

Dear Ocean County Sheriff's Department,

Hi. I'm just checking that my April 2 OPRA request was received. I have yet to receive a response. Here is my April 2 request in full:

Dear Lt. Bullock,

Thanks for the update. No apologies needed! Sometimes OPRA Machine emails get lost in delivery, so I just wanted to check that mine arrived.

Hi Lt. Bullock,

Thank you for sending the records. You stated in your reply that you were sending it as CSV, however, you sent this file as a PDF, which I can't seem to easily search. Could you please re-send this as originally requested as a CSV (or even TXT would work).

Thank you!

Resident

Dear Lt. Bullock,

Thank you for re-sending. The file opened and works fine.

Yours sincerely,

Resident
