Dear [email address],

I am very obviously asking for the reports your agency is required to produce, give to the prosecutors office ,and have posted to the police website.

Yours sincerely,

R Lord

Dear [email address],

The police records, emails and contact from the professional standards division of the Middlesex county prosecutor, the complaint made to internal affairs, the police department posting one record to its own website. The orders specifically instructing the police department to create and produce these records makes it absolutely clear the police department knows exactly what records I am referring too.
Provide the specific exemption in law as to why these records have been denied.

Yours sincerely,

R Lord

Dear [email address],

The statement by the Monroe township records department to "Go ahead and sue us " has been considered and you leave me no choice. The fact that these simple records would not be provided shows clear malicious intent to defy the law.

Yours sincerely,

R Lord
