The Police Department conducted a good faith search for responsive
records. The potentially responsive arrest and incident report are exempt
from release per N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1 as information which is to be kept
confidential pursuant to court order. Additionally, please note that
mugshots are exempt from access per Executive Orders No. 9 (Hughes) which
states, "Fingerprint cards, plates and photographs and other similar
criminal investigation records which are required to be made, maintained
or kept by any State or local governmental agency."
Your OPRA request is now deemed answered and closed. In the event of a
clarification or appeal, the Police Department reserves the right to raise
any other ground for denial not raised in this response. The failure of
the Police Department to assert an exception or privilege at this time
does not act as a waiver of any grounds for denial. Thank you for your
professional courtesies and attention to this matter.
Respectfully,
