Good afternoon,

This correspondence is in response to your OPRA request seeking body worn camera footage related to motor vehicle accidents that occurred between July 1, 2025, and July 7, 2025.
Our review determined that 12 body worn camera recordings are responsive to your request. In accordance with New Jersey OPRA guidelines, each recording must undergo a review and redaction process prior to release. It is estimated that this process will require approximately 3 hours per video, for a total of 36 hours. The review and redaction will be completed at the rate of the lowest-paid qualified employee, at an hourly rate of $24.64, for a total estimated cost of $887.04.

Please submit payment in the amount of $887.04 so we may begin processing your request. If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
