Police information requested
Dear South River Borough,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.
I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.
I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
Please provide the make model and serial number of the current body worn cameras in use by the South River Police department, along with a list and ID # of every full time officer, special officer / reserve officer assigned a body camera over the past 12 months.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Yours faithfully,

Hello
At this time, I am respectfully requesting an extension to your OPRA's (dated 7/17, 7/18, 7/21) to 8/7/25, as my office just received them as they were in my junk folder. More time is needed to gather the information requested.
Thank you,
Hello,

Dear Alyssa Hager,
You have provided us only with officer badge numbers. This is not what we are requesting. Please provide every current officer’s body camera numbers that were assigned during the years 2024 and 2025.
Yours sincerely,
