I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

You have the right to challenge a decision to deny access. At your option,
you may either institute a proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey
or file a complaint with the Government Records Council (“GRC”) by
completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form. You may contact the
GRC by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O. Box 819,
Trenton, NJ, 08625, by e-mail at [1][email address], or at their web
site at [2]www.state.nj.us/grc. All questions regarding complaints filed
in Superior Court should be directed to the Court Clerk in your County.
The Middletown Township Police Department reserves the right to raise any
other grounds in support of this response. The failure of the Middletown
Township Police Department to assert any exception, exemption or privilege
does not act as a waiver of any ground for denial.
