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).

Thank you for submitting your OPRA request. Requests will be processed
Monday, Tuesday, and Friday from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. as per N.J.S.A.
47:1A-5(a).
OPRA requests must be for a specific public document and should list a
specific date or dates. OPRA requests with terms "any and all", requests
for information, requests that require research into documents, or
requests that require the Clerk's office to create a document shall be
rejected.
Hi Eric,
As Alpha Borough does not have our own police force, we do not carry the records that you are requesting. You would have to request these specific records from Phillipsburg. Please understand that we are not denying you these records, they are just simply not our records. They belong to Phillipsburg. Please forward your request to the Phillipsburg office. If you have any further questions, please reach out.
Thank you!
