OPRA Request – Employment or Assignment History of Chief Christopher Battiloro
Dear Union County Prosecutor's Office,
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:
Pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, I am requesting any records confirming whether Chief Christopher Battiloro of the Westfield Police Department was ever employed by, assigned to, or worked directly under the supervision of the Union County Prosecutor’s Office in any official capacity. Specifically, I am requesting documentation reflecting the nature and duration of any such assignment, secondment, or employment, including dates of service and job title, if applicable. If such a relationship exists or existed, please include any available records confirming the length and type of the assignment. If any portion of the record is exempt, I request that the non-exempt portions be provided with appropriate redactions and that the specific legal basis for any denial be cited.
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,
Anonymous
