Dear Howell Township,

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: On June 5, 2026, PBA President James “Jimmy” Alexander participated in the Torch Run. Pictures were posted on the Howell Police Department’s official Facebook page. Due to his continued abuse of time, the following is requested:

1. Attendance entry for June 4 and June 5, 2026 for his assignment. This should include whether he actually worked a patrol shift or was paid a full day to jog for less than an hour.

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,
Richard Howell
