Dear C. Lang,

The Township of Manchester is in receipt of your request under OPRA for the following:

"Please provide the dates that then Capt. Todd Malland, then Chief Lisa Parker, and Capt. Manco attended the FBI National Academy. Please provide the total salary that was paid to each of them to attend this Academy as well as any funds that were granted to them on a daily basis to spend while there. Furthermore, please provide the amount of time each of them spent with the department, in order to return the fruits of their education to the taxpayers of Manchester Township, prior to retirement. This portion is to exclude Capt Manco."

Your request is not valid under OPRA. It is not a request for specific public documents, but a request for information. Please be advised that portions of your request are overly broad and require clarification. OPRA is not intended as a research tool to force government officials to identify and siphon useful information. Rather, OPRA operates to make identifiable government records readily accessible for inspection, copying or examination. OPRA does not countenance open-ended searches of an agency's files. MAG Entertainment, LLC v. Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J. Super. 534, 549 (App. Div. 2005).

A requestor must specifically describe the document sought. Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J. Super. 30, 37 (App. Div. 2005). Currently, your request fails to identify with reasonable clarity the specific government records sought. At this time, we request clarification of your OPRA request. Please respond in writing and identify the specific government records sought. Failure to provide written clarification will result in the closure of this OPRA request.
