I am the Custodian of Records for Washington Township.

Based upon the foregoing, a response is due on June 3, 2020. This response is being emailed to you on the date set forth above and is therefore timely.
Your OPRA request sought the information listed in your email below.
In satisfaction of your OPRA request, please be advised the Washington Township Police Department does not use body cameras. Therefore, the Township does not have any information to provide.
Based upon the response, I consider your OPRA request completely satisfied and, thus, closed. If, however, you disagree for any reason, or if you seek to discuss any issues associated with your records request, please contact me so that your concerns can be addressed.
If your request for access to a government record has been denied or unfilled within seven (7) business days required by law, you have a right to challenge the decision by Washington Township to deny access. At your option, you may either institute a proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey or file a complaint with the Government Records Council (GRC) by completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form.
