Dear Ocean County Prosecutor's Office,

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:

Investigation findings and the investigation report number(s) for allegations of misconduct at the Ocean County Vocational and Technical School. I am specifically referencing a letter dated April 15, 2020, from then Freeholder Director Joseph Vicari to then Ocean County Administrator Carl Block reference a letter received from then Ocean County Executive Superintendent of Schools Kevin Ahearn with an email attachment named "Concerned Parents" wherein allegations of nepotism with the hiring of a retired Jackson Police Officer, James Anuario, and additional allegations of misconduct, including alleged sexual misconduct, by members of the faculty, at the Ocean County Vocational and Technical School - Academy of Law and Public Safety. Apologies for the verbose request as I am respectfully providing references to assist you.

The Ocean County Commission meeting minutes dated September 4, 2024, pages 20 through 26 wherein Ocean County Commissioner Deputy Director Quinn specifically referenced an investigation made by Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer and made the determination the allegations "do not have enough substance moving forward."

"DEPUTY DIRECTOR QUINN: "He has looked at every one of your allegations and he has deemed them not to have enough substance to be moving forward. That's his decision, his choice. We can send cases over there and maybe we're not going to be happy with the outcome, the result that he comes back with, but it's his decision to make those
calls. He's got the background in Law Enforcement. You have a background in Law Enforcement, and you disagree with him."

ROBERT YAISER: "It's not a question .. .I don't disagree. And I want to be clear. I had 30 years in Law Enforcement, another, almost nine teaching. I know Brad personally. I know he has extensive experience at the Bamboo Bar and over in Seaside. Other than private practice this was his first foray into Law Enforcement, yes? When he became Prosecutor? The Attorney General has two years' experience. All we're asking is for the truth and accountability. You see me put that in writing, politely and respectively. Sir, all we're asking for. .. no one has
answered a question, and it shouldn't be their responsibility."

The request from Commissioner Vicari for a review in 2020 pre-date the Zachary Slater and Douglas Bollinger arrests. Kindly review and identify the investigation(s) conducted by the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office of the OCVTS.
