OPRA: Purchase order history for the police department from 2012 to 2019
Dear Newfield Borough,
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:
Please provide all purchase order history for purchases by the police department from 2012 to 2019. For each order, please include the date, description, vendor, and amount of the purchase.
Excel form is preferred, but other electronic forms are fine if that is not feasible.
Yours faithfully,
Taeho
Mr. Taeho:
In response to your Opra request, dated May 27, 2020, we currently do not have a police department. We did have a police department in 2012, but did not have body cameras until 2015. The minutes are unclear as to when they when they were deployed.
3 body cameras were ordered 6/24/2015
1 body camera was ordered 8/20/2015
Attached are the invoices.
Toni L. Van Camp, RMC
Please acknowledge receipt of this information.
"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."
