Attached please find records responsive to the below public record
request.
Complaint and affidavit of probable cause are provided with telephone and
driver’s license numbers redacted in accordance with N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(a).
A CAD summary is attached, with redactions pursuant to the "criminal
investigatory record" exception, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1., as interpreted and
applied to CAD reports in North Jersey Media Group, Inc. v. Township of
Lyndhurst, 441 N.J. Super. 70, 105-07 (App. Div. 2015), rev'd on other
grounds, 229 N.J. 541, 569 n.6 (2017).
The request for police incident reports is denied pursuant to the
"criminal investigatory record" exception. N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1; see North
Jersey Media Group, Inc. v. Township of Lyndhurst, 229 N.J. 541, 569
(2017) (investigative reports and witness statements about criminal
incident "fall within the 'criminal investigatory record exception'");
Serrano v. South Brunswick Twp., 358 N.J. Super. 356-57, 360, 370 (App.
Div. 2003) (affirming dismissal of portion of complaint regarding
non-disclosure of police and EMT reports, on the ground such documents
were "criminal investigatory records").
Our file does not contain a copy of an arrest report; request for same is
denied on that ground. The request for indictment also is denied for lack
of a responsive record.
