Annual Budgets, Costs and Services Performed by Animal Control in 2020 and 2021
Dear Woodbridge Township,
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:
Total annual budgeted and expended amounts for animal control services (`AC`) in 2020 and 2021.
List of all AC employees in 2020 and 2021.
Annual total number of cat-related complaints to AC and total number of cat intake by AC in 2020 and 2021.
Name/address of Woodbridge's designated impound facility.
Name of Woodbridge's Humane Law Enforcement Officers (HLEOs) and total annual number of calls received by the HLEO in 2020 & 2021.
Yours faithfully,
Elizabeth Mattfield
THIS RESPONSE IS FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. OTHER DEPARTMENT(S) WILL RESPOND UNDER SEPARATE COVER.
In response to OPRA request #14082:
The Woodbridge Police Officers with HLEO designation are:
CLEO Scott Kuzma
D/SGT Nicole Hubner
DET T. J. Rataczak
DET Perry Penna
The total annual number of calls received by the HLEO in 2020 and 2021.
There is no such document because Woodbridge HLEOs do not directly receive animal related calls. All calls for police service are received through the dispatch center and assigned to a radio patrol officer for initial investigation. Investigations that require additional or continued investigation are then handled by the Detective Bureau. The Woodbridge HLEOs are assigned to the Detective Bureau and are assigned accordingly.
