Dear Town of Newton,

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.

Records requested:

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,

Jenna Gately

Good morning,

Please be advised that all requests for police records made pursuant to the Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq. (OPRA), must be submitted directly to the Newton Police Department, the custodian of such records.

OPRA requests for police records should be directed to:

Newton Police Department
https://newtonpolice.org/forms/


This office is not the designated custodian of police records and is therefore unable to process or fulfill such requests. To ensure compliance with the statutory seven (7) business day response period, requestors are strongly encouraged to submit their requests directly to the Newton Police Department at the contact information provided above.

For further assistance regarding the OPRA request process, please contact the Newton Police Department's Records Bureau directly at [email address].
