The CAD report is provided, with redactions pursuant to the "criminal

The request for police incident reports is denied pursuant to the
"criminal investigatory record" exception. N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1; see North
Jersey Media Group, Inc. v. Township of Lyndhurst, 229 N.J. 541, 569
(2017) (investigative reports and witness statements about criminal
incident "fall within the 'criminal investigatory exception'"); Serrano v.
