Dear Denville Township,

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:
Under OPRA/FOIA/Public Records laws, I am requesting the following documents:
Body Camera footage of the incident involving Liam Harrigan on 10/20/2024 when conducting a traffic stop on Indian Road.
If possible, please send the results of the request electronically to [email address].

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.

Denville Township Deputy Clerk, Denville Township

Hello,

You submitted an Open Public Records Act (OPRA) Request Form to Denville Township which was received by the Municipal Clerk on 1/30/2025. Pursuant to the Act, the Township has 7 business days, beginning the day after receipt of the request by the Records Custodian, within which to respond.

Your OPRA request sought access to the following regarding Liam Harrigan on 10/20/2024:

"...body camera footage..."
Please be advised that the BWC you have requested is exempt from disclosure under OPRA pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-3 because the matter remains under investigation with the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office. The New Jersey Supreme Court has concluded that early disclosure of records containing details of an incident “will often be ‘inimical to the public interest’” and “infect the reliability of an investigation.” North Jersey Media Group, Inc. v. Twp. Of Lyndhurst, 229 N.J. 541, 574 (citing N.J.S.A. 47:1A-3).
