Dear Hillsdale 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:

I would like to receive any accident reports, incident reports, aided reports, operations reports, internal affairs records, vehicle reports, investigation reports, citations, summonses issued, charge sheets, disposition of charges, court records, legal actions, lawsuits filed, settlement agreements, judgements, CAD / dispatcher / police journal entry records, ambulance reports, patient care reports, fire department response reports, sobriety test results, total station diagrams, accident reconstruction diagrams and reports, 911 tapes, any dispatch calls, images, recordings, video recordings, surveillance video, dashboard camera video, body worn camera video of the crash itself or the driver or any other persons being interviewed by the police, and email or other written communications

Dear Denise Kohan,

are you unable to forward the request yourself? you are part of the same municipality and other towns will just forward the request if sent to the wrong location

as a lay person, it is beyond my ability to know how each municipality is set up or whom to contact for each individual request.

also, doesnt help that OPRAmachines software removes all email addresses in the body of emails before posting it to my account, so, i wouldnt be able to see mr/ms. spingola's email address to know where to send it to myself anyways.

it does say for that reason near the end of the template that i used to send my requirements: "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." thank you. :)

Yours sincerely,

mountaindew lightning

Dear Denise Kohan,

Response to this request is delayed. By law, Hillsdale Borough should normally have responded promptly and by October 14, 2024

You said you forwarded the request to the appropriate person, but still no response.

Yours sincerely,
