Good morning,
The requested arrest report is attached. Certain personal identifying information has been redacted pursuant to Executive Order #21 (McGreevey 2002) and N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq which states:
“A public governmental agency has the responsibility and the obligation to safeguard from public access a citizen's personal information with which it has been entrusted, an individual's home address and telephone number, driver’s license number, date of birth as well as his or her social security number, shall not be disclosed by a public agency at any level of government to anyone other than a person duly authorized by this State or the United States, except as otherwise provided by law.”
The incident report is being denied as it is a criminal investigatory record- a record which is not required by law to be made, maintained or kept on file that are held by a law enforcement agency which pertain to any criminal investigation or related civil enforcement proceeding. These records are not disclosable under OPRA pursuant to N.J.S A. 47:1A-1.1
Mug shot is being denied pursuant to Executive Order No. 69 (“Gov. Whitman”) which states:
The following records shall not be deemed to be public records subject to inspection and examination and available for copying pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 73, P.L. 1963, as amended: fingerprint cards, plates and photographs and similar criminal investigation records that are required to be made, maintained or kept by any State or local governmental agency
This completes your request.
