Subject: OPRA request - Arrest statistics CY 2025

Dear Allendale Borough,

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-6(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.

- Number of arrests made by the Department for all offenses from January
1st, 2025, to September 12th, 2025.

- Number of arrests made by the Department for Driving While Intoxicated
in that same time frame.

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,

Local Constituent
