Dear Washington Township (Bergen),

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:

Records pertaining to the swear in, hiring, appointment, election, and promotions of all fire, police, and ambulance personnel starting 01/01/2015 through 07/31/2025 to include not limited to recordings of any swear in ceremonies, oath forms, written communications, personnel (or similarly titled) action forms of any fire, police, and ambulance personnel hired, elected, appointed, or promoted between 01/01/2015 and 07/31/2025

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.

Yours faithfully,

concerned resident

Dear Washington Township (Bergen),

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Open Public Records Act reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Washington Township (Bergen)'s handling of my OPRA request 'Emergency responder oaths'.

your response appears to be incomplete.

There are no oath forms for police before year 2018.

There are no oath forms for ambulance or fire in 2016. There are no oath forms for ambulance in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022.

My request clearly stated I wished for records for each year starting 2015 and ending 2025.

A full history of my OPRA request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://opramachine.com/request/emergenc...

Yours faithfully,

concerned resident
