Dear Belmar Borough,
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:
Belmar Arrest Report Logs for 11/01/23-11/30/2023, with the following information: Arrest Date and Time, Arrestee Name, Case Number, Arrest Address, Arrest Charge Statute, Arrest Charge Statute Abbreviation, Arrestee Address City, Arresting Officer.
Please do not omit critical information such as the LOCATION or TIME of the arrest, or the complete list of charges filed against the individual. Though it is okay to redact names of juveniles, please do not entirely omit these records from your response.

We have received your Open Public Records Act Request. Please be advised
the Borough of Belmar now uses an online OPRA portal
[1]https://belmarborough.nextrequest.com/. Your request will be uploaded
into this portal and you will receive an email confirmation. From there
you can finish creating your account so you can access your request. Your
request will be answered through this portal. In the future please submit
your requests directly in the portal. Thank you.
Note: Effective September 3, 2024, P.L. 2024, c. 16 requires all agencies
subject to OPRA to “adopt the form established by the Government Records
Council . . . for the use of any person who requests access to a
government record held or controlled by the public agency.” N.J.S.A.
47:1A-5(f).
In accordance with this new requirement, the Government Records Council
(“GRC”) has established an updated version of the old "Model OPRA request
form" to include the following required items:
1) certifiable statements addressing commercial purpose and pending
litigation have been added to the “Requestor Information” box.
2) new and amended exemptions have been added to the “Reasons for Denial”
list, and
3) the information page has been changed to reflect relevant new and
amended provisions.
Requestors are not required to use an OPRA form, however, a written
equivalent not containing the form requirement of N.J.S.A 47:1A-5(f) and
N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(g) may be denied by a custodian.
