Body Cam Footage
Dear Monroe Township (Gloucester),
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 seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
I am formally requesting access to and copies of all body-worn camera (BWC) footage captured by every responding officer to the 911 call on March 3, 2025, at the residence located at 378 North Tuckahoe Road, Williamstown, NJ. This request specifically pertains to all footage recorded from the time of dispatch through the conclusion of the police presence at the above location in connection with the referenced incident.
While I understand that body-worn camera footage may be subject to certain exemptions, I respectfully assert my right to access this information not only under OPRA but also under New Jersey common law, which recognizes the right of citizens to access public records when they have a legitimate interest. As the victim in the matter—and as this incident also involved my minor child—I have a direct, legitimate interest in this footage.
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,
Alexis R
