Good morning,
We are in receipt of your OPRA request dated October 8, 2025, for officer
body camera footage regarding motor vehicle accidents that occurred July 1
to July 7, 2025. We logged eight (8) accidents during that time frame
which resulted in 24 body camera videos 3.87 hours in total. As this a
lengthy amount of video to redact, a special service charge will be
assessed. I have attached a letter of explanation of the service charge
of $696.60 payable prior to video redactions.
Please advise how you wish to proceed in this matter. Thank you.
