Dear Elizabeth City,

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-6(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 NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

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

Records requested:
Dear Records Custodian,

Under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.) and any other applicable New Jersey law governing access to body-worn camera recordings, I request body-worn camera (BWC) recordings only related to the Elizabeth Police Department’s on-scene response to the April 12, 2022 road-rage incident in Elizabeth and the subsequent location and arrest/custody of Vincent Jean later that day.

Event details (to help locate the records)

Date: April 12, 2022 (morning response; later location/arrest the same day)

Scene location (reported): Salem Avenue area / Salem Avenue & Aberdeen Road (Elizabeth, NJ)

Arrest/location (reported): Jefferson Avenue area (Elizabeth, NJ), where Jean was reportedly found seated in the damaged SUV

Records requested (please produce up to five clear, non-duplicative items)

Please provide up to five BWC recordings (or the relevant clips/segments from those recordings) showing:

Officers’ initial arrival and approach at/near the Salem Avenue scene (including immediate scene security and initial assessment);

First on-scene contacts and time-limited, on-scene actions necessary to understand the response (e.g., identification steps, short witness interactions captured on BWC, and broadcast/coordination captured on BWC);

Any BWC-captured communications necessary to understand the transition from scene response to locating the suspect vehicle (limited to what is on BWC);

Officers locating Vincent Jean in/with the damaged vehicle on/near Jefferson Avenue (approach, identification, verbal commands);

Detention/arrest/custody of Jean (handcuffing and any on-scene statements captured on BWC) and escort/removal from the immediate location to a police vehicle (if captured).

Strict limits / exclusions (to keep this narrow)

This request is strictly limited to the single incident on April 12, 2022 and the same-day location/arrest/custody of Vincent Jean in Elizabeth. I am not seeking:

Any later interviews/interrogations at police headquarters, prosecutor facilities, jail, or court;

Any third-party surveillance footage (neighbor camera video, doorbell video, etc.);

Any hospital/medical treatment footage;

Any graphic close-up documentation of injuries or deceased/medical evidence;

Any unrelated calls for service or incidents.

If a recording contains both responsive and non-responsive material, please produce only the responsive segments and redact only what is required by law, releasing all reasonably segregable portions.

Date/time window (narrow, clip-based)

April 12, 2022 — limited to (1) the initial dispatch/arrival and immediate response at the Salem Avenue scene, and (2) the subsequent locate/arrest/custody event on/near Jefferson Avenue. If exact times are needed, please use CAD/dispatch timestamps internally to identify the relevant time windows and provide only those BWC segments.

Format / delivery

Format: Original/native electronic files (or native exported clips) via download link/portal with any available metadata/timecodes.

Redactions: Only those required by law; please release all reasonably segregable portions.

Fees / special service charge

This is a narrow, non-commercial, public-interest request for a small number of specific BWC clips via electronic delivery. It should not require an “extraordinary expenditure of time and effort” under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(c), so no special service charge should apply. If you believe any fee or special service charge is necessary, please provide a written estimate and do not proceed without my written approval.

If any portion is denied or withheld, please provide the specific legal basis for each withholding/redaction and identify the withheld record(s) by date/time range and officer/camera identifier where available.

Please confirm receipt and advise if any additional detail is needed to locate these records.

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,

Craig Davison
