Agendas and meeting minutes from Police staff meetings.
Dear South Plainfield Police Department,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-5(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.
I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.
I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
Pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA), I request copies of the agendas and meeting minutes for any South Plainfield Police Department staff meeting held during 2025 or 2026 at which South Plainfield Police Department Memorandum No. 26-05, “Interaction with Borough Elected Officials,” or the subject of communications between police officers and elected officials, was discussed.
This request is based upon Memorandum No. 26-05, effective February 2, 2026, which states:
“As discussed during the 2025 and 2026 Staff Meetings…”
Please provide the records electronically. If any responsive record contains exempt information, please redact only the exempt portions and produce the remainder, identifying the specific legal basis for each redaction.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Yours faithfully,
Fred Young
