The Borough of Oakland is in receipt of your OPRA request dated 4/14/26,
seeking:
“CAD, Incident Detail, and Investigative reports for all incidents coded:
eluding, motor vehicle pursuit, attempt to stop, fail to stop, and
resisting by flight from 09/01/2025 to 04/13/2026.”
Pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, requests must identify
specific, identifiable government records.
Your request, as submitted, seeks broad categories of records and would
require the Custodian to research, analyze, and compile information from
multiple sources. OPRA does not require a records custodian to conduct
research, create new records, or perform data analysis in response to a
request. See MAG Entertainment, LLC v. Division of Alcoholic Beverage
Control and Bent v. Township of Stafford Police Department.
Accordingly, your request is denied as overly broad and not seeking
specific identifiable records.
Please note that certain records, including investigative reports, may be
exempt from disclosure pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1.
You may resubmit your request by identifying particular records, reports,
or a narrower category of documents that can be located without requiring
research or compilation. The Borough will respond accordingly upon receipt
of a revised request.
Regards,
Wendi Seelin, CMR
Acting Borough Clerk

Dear Oakland 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
