Dear Jacqueline Murray,
Hello, thank you for submitting the info back to me and I hope that you’re feeling better!
It seems that the Paterson Police department did not read completely or more likely they did not understand my request.
I received the policy regarding sworn and non sworn police personnel, posting on their own social media pages. Unfortunately, that’s not at all what I requested. I requested information specifically about the “Paterson Police Department” Facebook page.
I feel that the original request was clear and concise as to what information that I was requesting, so I do not feel that another request should be necessary. Please advise.
Thank you!
Regards,
Chris Crepeau
Good Afternoon Mr. Crepeau:
I will forward your email to the Paterson Police Department and communicate with you as soon as I hear from them.
Have a great day!

Dear Paterson City,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Open Public Records Act reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Paterson City's handling of my OPRA request 'Paterson Police Department Facebook page policies and procedures'.
My request was refused by Det. David D’Arco # 4418.
A full history of my OPRA request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://opramachine.com/request/paterson...
Yours faithfully,
Chris Crepeau
Dear Paterson City,
Hello, I am following up on the internal review of my unsatisfied information request, that I sent on January 25th 2018. Please advise as to the remaining time that is needed to conduct the review.
Sincerely,
Chris Crepeau
I am adding the email response from Detective David D’Arco of the Paterson
police department, to this thread. The detectives response included only 1
piece of the information that was requested, which was “The name of the
moderator”. The remainder of the information in the original opra request,
remains unsatisfied as of 3/15/2018.
Chris Crepeau
