Dear Mount Holly Township,

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 (OPRA), N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., I am requesting copies of any and all records related to a traffic stop involving Jason Carty on December 31, 2024. Specifically, I request:

Incident/Police Reports – Including, but not limited to, the initial report, officer narratives, citations issued, and any supplementary reports.

Body-Worn Camera Footage – Including all available video and audio recordings from responding officers during the traffic stop.

Dash Camera Footage – If applicable, from any police vehicles involved in the stop.

911 Call Records and Dispatch Logs – Any communications related to the traffic stop, including audio and transcripts.

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,

Concerned Citizens of Mount Holly

Good Afternoon,

Attached, please find the records requested. The body worn camera footage is too large to be emailed. The footage has been downloaded to a thumb drive and can be picked up from Captain Cliff Spencer at the Mount Holly Police Station or mailed. Please advise of an address should you choose to have it mailed.

Thank you,
Sherry
