Dear Middletown Township Police Department,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-5(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:

Pursuant to OPRA, I request the following records related to the May 2026 shoplifting arrest of Taylor Polito (age 33, Colts Neck) by Officer Anthony Bartolone:
* Body-worn camera footage from the incident, including assisting officers.
* Any available store surveillance footage related to the incident.
* The associated call for service/CAD records.

If any portion is exempt, please provide all releasable portions with appropriate redactions.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.

Yours faithfully,
