To whom it may concern,
We are in receipt of your OPRA request dated 9/18/25 wherein you requested
digital media related to ‘all fire department assists performed between
7-1-25 and 7-14-25’.
This agency has no method of searching the parameters of your request as
there is no code or qualifier for ‘fire department assists’ in the police
RMS system. We are happy to provide specific records; however, we are not
required to conduct research for a request or analyze records to determine
if they contain the requested information.
If you are looking for records related to the fire department, I would
suggest sending a request to the appropriate agency.
Your OPRA request is now deemed answered and closed. If your request for
access to a government record has been denied or unfilled within the
statutory time period required by law, you have a right to challenge the
denial of access. At your option, you may either institute proceedings in
the Superior Court of New Jersey or file a complaint with the GRC by
completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form. You may contact the GRC by
toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ,
08625, by e-mail at [1][email address], or at their web site at
//www.state.nj.us/grc. The GRC can also answer other questions about the
law. All questions regarding complaints filed in Superior Court should be
directed to the Court Clerk in your County.
Respectfully,
Dave Doyle
