OPRA request - Use of force reports 2017-2019
Dear Middle Township,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
All use of force reports completed by the police department from January 1st 2017 to December 31st, 2019.
Yours faithfully,
Eric K.
ATTENTION: Due to recent events, the Township of Middle is moving to a
modified services schedule. The goal of our plan is to reduce human
contact, while continuing to operate essential services for our township
residents.
Cooperation of the Township employees and residents will be needed for a
successful temporary downsizing of services. We thank everyone in advance
for helping the township government get through a difficult time.
All paper business conducted by residents at town hall will be done
through the drop box at town hall. Town hall will be closed, but access
will be granted to the drop box located out front of Township Hall.
While we will do our best to respond in the most expeditious manner,
delays to responses from all offices can be expected at this time.
Good afternoon,
Please allow this email to serve as confirmation that we have received our request.
Due to this period declared pursuant to the laws of this State as a state of emergency, public health emergency, or state of local disaster emergency this request will require an extension. We will respond to your request as soon as possible there after the 7 business days.
Thank you for your time and consideration to this matter.

Good afternoon,
We have reviewed the information presented by our Police Department. The information you have requested resulted in 190 pages, of which 91 pages will contain redactions (Juvenile names N.J.S.A. 4A-60 / Medical Information E.O. 26, item 4 / Dometic Violence Information N.J.S.A. 2C:25-33)
This redaction will cost $4.55. We will require full payment prior to preparing this request.
Payment should be made payable to the Township of Middle and should be forwarded to the address below prior to release of records. We ask that when making payment you provide exact payment as we will not have the mechanism to provide change. Townhall is closed to the public, for this reason all payments must be made through the mail or placed in a clearly marked envelope and placed in the drop box located at the front of townhall.
Once payment is received we will forward the item to you via email at the email address provided on your request.
Please acknowledge receipt of this email and the cost for duplication.
