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:

Dear “Citizen”:
Please be advised that the undersigned represents the interests of the
Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office (“MCSO”) as respects your emailed OPRA
request of May 28, 2025 @ 10:35 pm. Attached hereto is the MCSO’s timely
response to said request, requesting clarification as permitted by Bent v.
Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J.Super. 30, 37 (App. Div. 2005).
Please be guided accordingly.
Yours, David A. Laughlin, Esq.
Dear David A Laughlin,
I am asking for a list of Sheriffs officers with their rank, date of hire, and salary and badge numbers. Do you not have this?
Yours sincerely,
Citizen
Dear Citizen:
Initially, please note my representative capacity. I "personally" have no records, nor does OPRA apply to me, or my firm, whatsoever. Thank You.
Please review the letter response, another copy of which is attached. The MCSO needs a time or period reference in order to answer your request. For example, are you asking for the list of "Currently Employed" officers? Or are you asking for every person who was ever employed for the history of the MCSO, which frankly, would be very difficult, if not impossible, to supply. Your request can be interpreted both ways. Hence, the request for a clarification.
If you would be so kind as to clarify the scope of what you are requesting, the MCSO will respond as required by the OPRA.
Yours, David A. Laughlin, Esq.
Dear Citizen:
Thank you for that clarification. The MCSO will look for documents responsive to that request.
Yours, David A. Laughlin, Esq.
Dear Citizen:
Attached hereto please find the MCSO’s timely response to your “clarified”
request dated June 3, 2025, along with the documents responsive to said
request.
Yours, David A. Laughlin, Esq.
