Eluding / Pursuits
Dear Emerson Borough,
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:
- CAD, Incidient Detail, and Investigative reports for all incidents coded: elduing, motor vehicle pursuit, attempt to stop, fail to stop, and resisting by flight from 09/01/2025 to 04/13/2026.
Yours faithfully,
Amy Kim
