Dear Newark 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 N.J.S.A. 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 am respectfully requesting access to the interrogation video footage of Rakeem Johnson (Parolee Double Murder case, 2015–2018, victim Abner Dominguez). Please provide the original, high-quality recordings of all interrogations conducted with Johnson in connection with this case, including any pre- or post-interview segments, booking room, or holding area footage if available.

If the Newark Police Department does not maintain custody of these records, I respectfully request that you forward or refer this request to the appropriate department or custodian of records so that it can be fulfilled without delay.
