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:
Body worn camera footage of all traffic stops performed on 7-30-25
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.
The maximum authorized cost is $0.

Mr. Michael,
The body worn camera footage of all traffic stops performed on 7-30-25
requires review and redaction by the Police Department before it can be
released which requires an extraordinary expenditure of time and effort.
Based on the review of the footage:
To review and redact by the Police Department will require approximately 5
hours at an hourly rate of $49.97 resulting in a total estimated cost of
$249.85.
In accordance with OPRA the Borough requires a 50% payment in advance
before work will begin, with the remaining balance due prior to release of
the body worn camera footage of all traffic stops performed on 7-30-25.
Please confirm if you wish to proceed under these terms.
Kathy
Kathleen Troast, RMC
