Dear Town of Phillipsburg,

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. The scope of this request complies with N.J.S.A. 10:4-6, et seq. It, therefore, falls outside any exemption provided therein (P.L.1963, c.73 (C.47:1A-1 et seq.)). In addition to O.P.R.A., N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 provides an independent means for citizens to access public information. Please acknowledge receipt of this message. Also note the following:

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:

For the entire retention period applicable to the requested public records, and within the statutory period, please provide all public and training records/documents, including applications with the supporting documentation (submitted by the applicant or on behalf of the applicant) for any training, certifications, disciplinary reports, and licenses issued or denied for the following Officers of the Phillipsburg Police Department.

(1) Det. Lt. James McDonald
(2) David Cupon
(3) Brad Kisselbach
(4) Christopher Mecca
(5) Timothy Moore
(6) Kevin Hulse

Please provide all responses via electronic files and this website (OPRAMachine.com).

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is via this Website (OpraMachine.com) as electronic file 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,
William Sosis
