Mr. Smith,

I am the OPRA custodian for the Maple Shade Police Department. I am in
receipt of your OPRA request today 12/26/18. We have seven business days
to respond to your request which would be 1/7/19. At this writing I am
requesting a two week extension to 1/21/19 due to the voluminous nature of
your request.

Thank you,

Lt. Jeffrey Hoch

Maple Shade Police Department

Mr. Smith,
 
My office is in receipt of your request for records received on December
26, 2018. The records requested are: Police Department Policy and
Procedure manual
 
There are no documents responsive to your request as the Maple Shade
Police Department does not have a “policy and procedure manual.”  By way
of further response, the Maple Shade Police Department advises that
departmental policies/procedures are not consolidated into a manual.
 There are approximately 114 policies ranging in length from approximately
1 to 20 pages.  Some of these documents are not available under
OPRA pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:1E-3.2(a).  If you are requesting all of the
department policies, a special service fee will be required as
the policies must be reviewed to determine which policies fall within the
exemption, an index of exemption/redaction created, and the policies
copied for production. A deposit of $250.00 will be required prior to
beginning the review.

If you are only seeking certain policies and can sufficiently define the
scope of the policies you are seeking, please contact me. I can then
advise whether there are responsive records and whether a service fee
would still be required.

If you are no longer pursuing this request because there is no manual,
please so advise.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I will await your response.

Lt. Jeffrey Hoch
