Dear Plainsboro,

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 in above.

Yours faithfully,

Township Clerk, Plainsboro

Request was received today 5/28/20 and it is due on 6/8/20.
NOTICE - Due to a State of Emergency declared by Governor Murphy regarding
the Coronavirus, and recently passed legislation, P.L. 2020, c.10, during
a state of emergency, public health emergency, or state of local disaster
emergency, a custodian of a government record for a public agency is
required only to make a reasonable effort to respond to a request for a
government record within seven business days, or as soon as possible
thereafter, as the circumstances permit. We ask for patience and
understanding as we gather the information to complete the request. Police
records may require extensions as there is NO clerical staff working, only
sworn police officers for emergency response purposes  and they are
extremely busy during this public health emergency with safety and
response planning.
Thank you
