Mr. Cohen,

This information cannot be released under OPRA so therefore your request is denied.
Your attorney will have to send us a Civil Subpoena for the request.

Dear Judith Sham,

Thank you for response. Marlboro police were called to my home two times, and entered my home two times. I am unsure why the documentation including audio of calls and body cam footage would not be released to me the homeowner where the police entered ?
Please advise if these documents will be released or I will forward a complaint to the Government Records Council for review.
Yours sincerely,

Elliot Cohen
