OPRA: Purchase order history for the police department from 2012 to 2019
Dear Hanover Township,
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:
All purchase order history from 2012 to 2019 for the police department.
Please include the date, description, vendor, and amount of each purchase.
Excel format is preferred, but other electronic formats are fine if that is not feasible.
Yours faithfully,

This will acknowledge receipt of your OPRA request as described below, this morning, Wednesday, May 27, 2020. Joe Giorgio, Business Administrator/Township Clerk.
The Township of Hanover received your request for Police Department
purchasing records on May 27, 2020 pursuant to the Open Public Records Act
(“OPRA”) and common law right of access. The ongoing State of Emergency
and Public Health Emergency related to COVID-19 has resulted in
significantly modified/reduced staffing throughout the State. Accordingly,
on March 21, 2020 the Legislature amended OPRA to provide additional time
to respond to government record requests during such period. Due to the
expansiveness of your request, and the Township’s modified staffing
levels, we will require additional time to complete your request. We
anticipate that records readily identified as responsive to your request
will be available to you by the close of business on June 17, 2020. If the
records are available earlier, we will forward them to you as soon as your
request is complete.
In accordance with your May 27, 2020 OPRA request seeking the purchase
order history for the Hanover Township Police Department for calendar
years 2012 through 2019, please refer to the attached eight (8) General
Accounts’ Histories for each of the years requested. Your OPRA request is
now deemed answered and closed.
Joseph A. Giorgio, Business Administrator/Township Clerk.
