Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:14-118.5, individuals who are the subjects of BWC recordings have the right to determine whether they wish to request an additional 3 year retention and, subsequently, request nondisclosure of the BWC video to the public. Accordingly, the Township is required to contact the subject and requests twenty-one (21) days to provide them an opportunity to decide whether to retain and/or disclose the video.
Please see the enclosed “OPRA Special Service Fee”, to be completed by the requestor. Read carefully, if agreed to terms sign, date and return by required date all with deposit.
ATPD will notify you once all parties have made a decision to release BWC.
Sincerely,
Diana Anderson
