Entrance Exam Candidates List

The request was refused by Edison Township.

Dear Edison Township,

This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:

The name and email address of all individuals who registered for the ExamPolice which will take place on November 16, 2019

Please provide the document in Excel Format

I certify that I have not been convicted of a crime and that I am an NJ resident.

Yours faithfully,

Tom McGorry

Connell, Maureen, Edison Township

Mr. McGorry,

Please be advised that the record sought by your OPRA request, a list of the applicants names and emails addresses who applied for the November 16, 2019 police examination, cannot be disclosed. First, this information is collected by a private company, policeapp.com, and is not a government record of the Township. Second, to the extent that the same might constitute such a record, such information would fall under the personnel records exemption to production (N.J.S.A. 47:1A-10), and is not disclosable. It should be noted that once an applicant successfully passes such an exam, then their name would be disclosable as part of a posted eligibility list. However disclosure of a list of applicants for an eligibility exam prior to determining whether they passed or not is not permissible.

Thank you,
Maureen Connell
Clerk’s Office
