Good morning.

Please be advised that your request is denied under both the common law and the Open Public Records Act as the records you seek would be directly within the possession of the Office of Public Integrity and Accountability (OPIA). OPIA is housed within the Division of Criminal Justice, a separate division from the Office of the Attorney General.

Departmental regulations do not permit me to transfer a request to another agency. You may therefore wish to resubmit your request directly to the Division of Criminal Justice. Note, under N.J.A.C. 13:1E-2 submission of records requests by email to the Department of Law and Public Safety is not permitted. N.J.A.C. 13:1E-2.4(a) states: "Written Open Public Records Act (OPRA) requests shall be hand-delivered during normal business hours of the public agency, mailed or submitted electronically to the appropriate division or agency custodian of records over the Internet by means of a web-enabled OPRA request form [.] Submission of requests by e-mail or facsimile transmission is not permitted." Pursuant to this regulation, divisions within the Department of Law & Public Safety are not able to accept emails as valid OPRA requests for access to government records. You may instead submit your request through the State’s online form, located at: https://www-njlib.state.nj.us/NJ_OPRA/de.... Select "Law and Public Safety." Next, select "Division of Criminal Justice." If you do not wish to use the online form, you may instead mail in a written/paper request or mail in a completed records request form. Attached is a blank records request form. The mailing addresses for the various Records Custodians of the Department of Law and Public Safety, including the Records Custodian for the Division of Criminal Justice, can be found on page 2 of the form.
