I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Dear Shannon ,

 

Please note the following comment by Catherine Bradley on 4/23/2026
3:17:00 PM:

This request seeks information or asks questions and does not identify
specific government records.
Currently, your request fails to identify with reasonable clarity the
specific government records sought, as is required by Bent v. Stafford
Police Department, 381 N.J.Super. 30, 37 (App. Div.  2005). At this time,
we request clarification of your OPRA request.  Please respond in writing
and identify the specific government records sought so that we may process
your request.  Failure to provide written clarification of your request
will result in the closure of this OPRA request.
Thank you,
Catherine Bradley

 

Sincerely,

 

Borough of Point Pleasant Beach

Dear Shannon ,

 

This email is regarding the Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request
received on 04/22/2026.

 

The request seeks access to the following records:

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:
Proof that Joseph Persico DOB 5/16/1982 was a police officer.
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

 

Accordingly, the request has been denied per N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1, Executive
Order No. 21, or Executive Order No. 26, or otherwise as listed below:

 

Department/Officer Statute Other
  This request seeks information or asks questions
and does not identify specific government
records.  As such, your request is an invalid
OPRA request and is denied.  When a request is
“complex” because it fails to specifically
identify the documents sought, then that request
is not “encompassed” by OPRA. See New Jersey
Builders Association v. New Jersey Council on
Affordable Housing, 390 N.J.Super. 166, 180 (App.
Div. 2007).  A proper request under OPRA must
identify with reasonable clarity those documents
that are desired, and a party cannot satisfy this
requirement by simply requesting all of an
agency`s documents.  See Bent v. Stafford Police
Department, 381 N.J.Super. 30, 37 (App. Div. 
2005). Custodians are not required to conduct
research or create new records in response to an
OPRA request.

 

You have a right to challenge the decision to deny access. At your option,
you may either institute a proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey
or file a complaint with the Government Records Council (GRC) by
completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form. You may contact the GRC by
toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ,
08625, by e-mail at [2][email address], or at their web site
at [3]www.state.nj.us/grc. The GRC can also answer other questions about
the law. All questions regarding complaints filed in Superior Court should
be directed to the Court Clerk in your county.

 

Please do not reply directly to this email; this address is not monitored.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

 

Sincerely,

 

Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
