Dear Bridgeton City,

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.

This follow-up request relates to a prior OPRA request concerning the loss of computer information on a Bridgeton Police Department law enforcement server (see https://opramachine.com/request/bridgeto...), and to records already produced in response to that request, including WatchGuard Video support cases CS-399710-Y2H5 and CS-399557-L5K9, City of Bridgeton Purchase Order No. 22-00225, and related Motorola Solutions invoices and payment records dated between January 2022 and January 2023.

Based on those records, I am requesting the following, for the period January 1, 2017 through the date this request is fulfilled:

1) All correspondence, case notes, technician logs, and internal communications (not limited to the initial case-creation confirmation emails already produced) related to WatchGuard Video support cases CS-399710-Y2H5 and CS-399557-L5K9, including any final resolution notes, root-cause findings, or closure reports.
2) Any report, memo, email, or other record — internal or from WatchGuard Video/Motorola Solutions — that identifies or estimates what video files, incident records, or other data were permanently lost, corrupted, or unrecoverable as a result of the "Failing Drive Slot 8" issue and/or the "unable to view video" issue referenced in the cases above.
3) A list or index of the specific incident numbers, case numbers, body-worn camera/in-car camera unit IDs, or video file identifiers that were stored on the affected server ("EL4") as of August 2021, together with any record indicating which of those were successfully migrated to the replacement system ("ELC") and which, if any, were not recovered.
4) All records related to the "EL4 TO ELC MIGRATION SERVICE" billed by Motorola Solutions (invoice 8281485126, 13 TB migrated), including any migration completion report, data verification/integrity check, or discrepancy log comparing pre-migration and post-migration data.
5) Any records reflecting notice given to the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office, the New Jersey Attorney General's Office, any municipal or Superior Court, or any criminal defense counsel or civil litigant, regarding lost, corrupted, or unavailable video evidence connected to this server failure, including any discovery responses, letters, or motions referencing unavailable footage.
6) A complete, unredacted copy of all invoices referenced in City of Bridgeton Check No. 100807 (issued 01/17/23), including invoice 8281372662 (250.00)underPO22-00225,andinvoiceUSC000708405(9,710.00) under PO 22-01896, none of which were included in the prior production.
7) All Bridgeton Police Department or City of Bridgeton IT help-desk tickets, service requests, or incident reports concerning this server, its storage array, or its video evidence/"evidence library" system for the full period January 1, 2017 through January 5, 2024 — not limited to August 2021.
8) Any written policy, standard operating procedure, or directive governing preservation, backup, or escalation when body-worn camera, in-car camera, or other digital evidence storage systems fail, and any records showing compliance (or non-compliance) with that policy in connection with this incident.
9) Records sufficient to show what backup(s) of the affected data existed prior to the drive failure, whether those backups were used in the recovery/migration, and the date(s) and outcome of any backup restoration attempt.
10) The date(s) the drive/server failure was first discovered, the date(s) any data loss was confirmed, and the date the system was fully repaired/restored, to the extent not already answered in the prior request.

If any portion of this request is denied in whole or in part, please cite the specific statutory exemption(s) relied upon for each such denial and release all reasonably segregable non-exempt portions of the records, as required under OPRA.

Please provide records electronically where available in the form of PDF. If any fees apply, please notify me of the estimated cost before proceeding. 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.

Thank you for your attention to this request.

Yours faithfully,
Erin
