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).

Dear UC Research,
At this time, your request requires an additional forty-five (45) days beyond the seven (7) business days to review, and if
appropriate, provide the documents to fulfill your request. As you know, OPRA allows custodians to seek extensions of
the time pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(i). In addition, the statute has recently been amended to provide that the normal
deadlines shall not apply, provided however, that the custodian of a governmental record shall make a reasonable effort,
as the circumstances permit, to respond to a request for access to a governmental record within seven (7) business days
or as soon as possible thereafter. Be advised that we are making a reasonable effort, as the circumstances permit, to
review and respond to your request, which includes an extension of time as needed.
Kind Regards,
Susan
