Mr. Cohen

Please be advised that pursuant to regulation, N.J.A.C. 13:1E-2, submission of records requests by email to the Department of Law and Public Safety is not permitted. N.J.A.C. 13:1E-2.4(a) states: "Written Open Public Records Act (OPRA) requests shall be hand-delivered during normal business hours of the public agency, mailed or submitted electronically to the appropriate division or agency custodian of records over the Internet by means of a web-enabled OPRA request form [.] Submission of requests by e-mail or facsimile transmission is not permitted." Pursuant to this regulation, I am not able to accept your email as a valid OPRA request for access to government records.

You may instead submit your request through the State’s online form, located at: https://www-njlib.state.nj.us/NJ_OPRA/de.... Select "Law and Public Safety." Next, select the division you wish to submit the request to.

If you wish to mail your request, the mailing addresses for the various Records Custodians within the Department of Law & Public Safety can be found on page 2 of the attached form. You are not required to utilize the attached request form. A hard copy letter detailing the records you are seeking would also suffice.

As a courtesy, I reviewed the contents of your email. To the extent responsive records are available, they would be within the possession of the Division of Law, a separate division of Law & Public Safety. Requests to the Division of Law may be submitted via the online form available at: https://www-njlib.state.nj.us/NJ_OPRA/de.... Select “Law and Public Safety.” Next, select “Division of Law.” You may also submit your request through hard copy correspondence to the Division of Criminal Justice at: Division of Criminal Justice, ATTN Division of Law Records Custodian, PO Box 112, 25 South Market Street, FIRST Flr., Trenton, NJ 08625.
