OPRA: police officer-involved lawsuits 2012-2019
Dear Middle Township,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
1. A list of all lawsuits and cases in which any officer of the police department was involved between 2012 and 2019. For each lawsuit/case, please provide the date (month and year) of the alleged incident at issue, whether the alleged incident was excessive force, settlement amount (if any), and final compensation amount ruled (if any).
2. Please provide copies of the complaint in any lawsuits and cases described above.
Yours faithfully,
UC Research
ATTENTION: Due to recent events, the Township of Middle is moving to a
modified services schedule. The goal of our plan is to reduce human
contact, while continuing to operate essential services for our township
residents.
Cooperation of the Township employees and residents will be needed for a
successful temporary downsizing of services. We thank everyone in advance
for helping the township government get through a difficult time.
All paper business conducted by residents at town hall will be done
through the drop box at town hall. Town hall will be closed, but access
will be granted to the drop box located out front of Township Hall.
While we will do our best to respond in the most expeditious manner,
delays to responses from all offices can be expected at this time.
Good afternoon,
Please allow this email to serve as confirmation that we have received our
request.
Due to this period declared pursuant to the laws of this State as a state
of emergency, public health emergency, or state of local disaster
emergency this request will require an extension. We will respond to your
request as soon as possible there after the 7 business days.
Thank you for your time and consideration to this matter.

Good morning,
We have reviewed the information presented. The information you have
requested resulted in 192 pages, of which 14 pages will contain redactions
(Juvenile names N.J.S.A. 2A:4A-60)
This redaction will cost $0.70. We will require full payment prior to
preparing this request.
Payment should be made payable to the Township of Middle and should be
forwarded to the address below prior to release of records. We ask that
when making payment you provide exact payment as we will not have the

for this reason all payments must be made through the mail or placed in a
clearly marked envelope and placed in the drop box located at the front of
townhall.
Once payment is received we will forward the item to you via email at the
