Elaine Wallace,

Good morning,

I received this forwarded OPRA request from the City of Cape May upon my return from a medical leave. The records you are requesting are court records, which can only be obtained from the court. As a result, you must direct your request to the Cape May and Cape May Point Shared Municipal Court at [email address].

If you have any questions about this response, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

Sincerely,
Elaine Wallace

Good afternoon,

Since sending my original response (below) it has come to my attention there was a relevant court decision in June of 2021 that local law enforcement agencies had to produce CDR-1s for their jurisdictions. Unfortunately, at the time of your request the police records custodian was out of the office and we consulted the court for the records. Upon learning of this court decision, I reached out to the police records custodian for all CDR-1s for Cape May Point in January 2022. Attached you will find those records.

Sincerely,
Elaine Wallace
