Dear Toms River Police Department,

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-5(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 hereby request access to and copies of government records regarding the Flock Safety Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) system utilized by your agency.
Specifically, I am requesting the system audit logs that record user access, system interaction, and search history for the timeframe of April 1, 2026, through the date of this request. This request encompasses, but is not limited to, electronic data or reports generated by the Flock Safety platform showing:
User identifiers: Username, name, or account ID of personnel accessing the platform.
Temporal data: Exact dates and timestamps of logins, active sessions, and individual search queries.
Search parameters: The criteria entered for searches (e.g., license plate numbers, vehicle makes/models, or geographic parameters).
Search justifications: Any case numbers, reason codes, or written justifications entered by users to authorize their search activities.
If your agency deems that any portion of these records is exempt from disclosure under OPRA, please redact the exempt portions, disclose the remainder, and provide a Vaughn Index or a specific statutory citation justifying each redaction or denial.

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,

Anonymous
