Re: OPRA request Clark Police Department Rules and Regulations
Date: November 21, 2023

The Township of Clark received your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request on November 21, 2023. The official Records Custodian, Edith Merkel, received your OPRA request on November 21, 2023. Your request is being provided to you on the same day of the custodian's receipt of said request.

Your request is hereby satisfied. 

Your OPRA request sought access to the documents indicated. 

- "a complete copy of the Clark Police Department's Rules and Regulations" - see attached

The records are being provided in their entirety and are responsive to your request. 

The following legal basis applies to responses that include redactions. " A government record shall not include the following information which is deemed to be confidential for the purposes of P.L. 1963, c 73 (C.47:1A-1 et seq.) as amended and supplemented: that portion of any document which discloses the social security number, credit card number, unlisted telephone number or driver license number of any person..."

If your request for access to a government record has been denied or unfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a right to challenge the decision by the Township of Clark to deny access. 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 email at [email address], or at their website 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.
