ARRIVE Together Standard Operating Procedure
Dear Newark City,
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:
I would like the Newark Police Department's Standard Operating Procedure document for 'ARRIVE Together'.
This program has been running since June and a SOP would have been created for it.
Yours faithfully,
Concerned Citizen
Good Afternoon Sir or Madame,
The Office of the Clerk of the City of Newark has assigned
your attached request tracking number PD-23-1292 and forwarded it to
the Department of Public Safety, Division of Police.
Government agencies properly extend OPRA's initial seven-business day
deadline for good cause when the extension comes within the first seven
business day deadline and provides a date certain by which the request
will be filled. The requestor's consent to the extension is not
necessary. Starkey v. Department of Transportation, GRC 2007-315,
2007-316, 2007-317 (2009). Rivera v. Plainfield, GRC 2009-317
(2011). Criscione v. Gutenberg, GRC 2010-68 (2010).
In order to gather the documents responsive to your requests, the OPRA
unit sends your requests to the respective City Departments, which
actually created, received, or retained these documents. Since the State
of Emergency, crucial City Staff have retired, become sick, and work a
staggered schedule, which makes the time needed to gather responsive
documents far longer than usual.
This office received your request on August 1, 2023, and anticipates a
response on or about September 1, 2023
Sincerely,
Shantesia Crawford, MPA
Office of the City Clerk
