Mugshot from Arrest
Dear Belmar Borough,
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-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 requesting access to and a copy of the mugshot/booking photograph of Brody Koch, age 18, of Lake Como, who was arrested at the Ocean County Vocational School in Brick on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at approximately 9:00 PM.
Please provide this record in electronic format via email if available.
If this record is not held by your agency, please advise on which agency maintains custody. If any portion of this request is denied, please provide the statutory basis for the denial.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
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,
Michael Moyer
We have received your Open Public Records Act Request. Please be advised
the Borough of Belmar now uses an online OPRA portal
[1]https://belmarborough.nextrequest.com/. Your request will be uploaded
into this portal and you will receive an email confirmation. From there
you can finish creating your account so you can access your request. Your
request will be answered through this portal. In the future please submit
your requests directly in the portal. Thank you.
Note: Effective September 3, 2024, P.L. 2024, c. 16 requires all agencies
subject to OPRA to “adopt the form established by the Government Records
Council . . . for the use of any person who requests access to a
government record held or controlled by the public agency.” N.J.S.A.
47:1A-5(f).
In accordance with this new requirement, the Government Records Council
(“GRC”) has established an updated version of the old "Model OPRA request
form" to include the following required items:
1) certifiable statements addressing commercial purpose and pending
litigation have been added to the “Requestor Information” box.
2) new and amended exemptions have been added to the “Reasons for Denial”
list, and
3) the information page has been changed to reflect relevant new and
amended provisions.
Requestors are not required to use an OPRA form, however, a written
equivalent not containing the form requirement of N.J.S.A 47:1A-5(f) and
N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(g) may be denied by a custodian.
