Dear Burlington County,

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-5(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.

Records requested:

1. The current salary step guide (step schedule) for Burlington County Sheriff’s Officers, including all steps and corresponding salary amounts in effect as of the date of this request.
2. If separate, any salary guide or step schedule applicable specifically to entry‑level Burlington County Sheriff’s Officers and any guide applicable to superior officers within the Burlington County Sheriff’s Office.
If available, please provide these records in electronic format (PDF or Excel) by email.
I am not requesting “any and all” records; I am seeking the specific salary guides/step schedules described above. If any portion of this request is unclear or you believe additional detail is needed to identify the records, please advise so I may clarify.
If you contend that any portion of the requested records is exempt, please provide the non‑exempt portions and indicate the legal basis for any redactions or denials, as required by OPRA.

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,

Medardo
