 Dear Tony Michael,
 The Clementon Police Department received your Open Public Records Act
(OPRA) request on 9/24/2025.  The official Records Custodian, William
Boyle, received your OPRA request on 9/25/2025.  As such, the seven (7)
business day deadline to respond to your request is 10/6/2025  This
response to your request is being provided to you on the 3rd business day
after the custodian’s receipt of said request.
 OPRA allows public agencies to impose special service charges whenever
the nature, format, manner of collation, or volume of a government record
embodied in the form of printed matter to be inspected, examined, or
copied pursuant to this section is such that the record cannot be
reproduced by ordinary document copying equipment in ordinary business
size or when fulfilling a request requires an extraordinary expenditure of
time and effort. See N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.c.  Special service charges must be
based upon the actual direct cost of providing the copy or copies. 
 OPRA mandates that the requestor shall have the opportunity to review and
object to the charge prior to it being incurred.  See N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.c.
As such, a detailed estimate is provided below:
 $53.01 per hour for review, redaction, and transmission of video files
Projected time = 5 hours
Total = $265.05
 This figure was estimated based upon the lowest level employee capable of
fulfilling the request, their direct hourly rate (minus fringe benefits),
and the number of hours anticipated to complete request.
 Kindly respond in writing with your acceptance or rejection of this
estimated charge.  We will not begin to process this request until we
receive your written acceptance. 
 If you reject the estimated charge and you wish to challenge the special
service charge, you have a right to challenge the decision. At your
option, you may either institute a proceeding in the Superior Court of New
Jersey or file a complaint with the Government Records Council (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 [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.
Sincerely,
 Chief William Boyle
Clementon Borough Police Department

Dear Clementon Borough,

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-6(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:

Police Body worn camera footage of all Motor Vehicle Accidents between
7-1-25 and 7-7-25

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.

Yours faithfully,

Tony Michael
