I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

RE: OPRA REQUEST of 1/6/2026, Reference # W034642-010626
Dear April Saul,
The Camden County Custodian of Records received your Open Public Records
Act request on 1/6/2026. To access your request and retrieve your records
please click [2]here.
Your request for: "prowling"
Custodian's response: The Camden County Police Department conducted a
search of their files and found no records responsive to your request.
Your request: "Any police records for 2024 and 2025 relating to Rahmere
Frank and/or 1321 Park Blvd. in Camden."
Custodian's response: The Camden County Police Department conducted a
search of their files and provided records responsive to your request. The
records provided contain redactions which are indicated at the end of each
applicable document, as is required by N.J.S.A. 47:1A-6.
Additionally, the Camden County Police Department (CCPD) informed our
office that an incident report was found. However, Police incident reports
are considered criminal investigatory records which are exempt from
disclosure under OPRA pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1; N.J.S.A. 47:1A-6;
Feggans v. City of Newark (Essex), GRC Complaint No. 2007-238 (October
2008);Morgano v. Essex County Prosecutor’s Office, GRC Complaint no.
2007-156 (February 2008); Nance v. Scotch Plains Township Police

Cheatham v. Borough of Fanwood Police Department (Union), GRC Complaint
No. 2013-262 (March 2014), as is required by N.J.S.A. 47:1A-6
Your request for: "Loitering"
Custodians response: The request submitted is not a request for documents
but rather a wholesale request for information which is not encompassed by
the intent of OPRA, as has been articulated in N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1, et. seq.
and Rummel v. Cumberland Cnty. Bd. of Chosen Freeholders, GRC Complaint
No. 2011-168 (December 2012).
However, in an effort to satisfy this portion of your request, the Camden
County Police Department conducted a search of their files and informed
our office that there were 937 loitering arrests in 2024 and 833 loitering
arrests in 2025. No further records exist.
As such, this correspondence and the records provided constitutes
completion of your request.
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1, et seq. 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 County of Camden to deny access. As provided by law, you have the
right to either institute a proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey
or file a complaint with the Government Records Council (GRC) by
