Good Morning -
Please accept my sincere apology for the delay in response. The email, in my absence, was filed prior to being answered. I appreciate your forwarding a second email making me aware of the situation.
My response to your request:
On all questions 1 - 6, I have found no record corresponding to your request.
* It is worth noting that the Borough of Andover does not have a police department.
* Authority in the Borough of Andover is through the State Police.
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 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 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,
Beth Brothman, RMC
Municipal Clerk
Borough of Andover
