Mr. Michael,
An OPRA request was received seeking:
“Police Body Worn Camera footage of all motor vehicle accidents between August 1, 2025 and August 7, 2025.”
Please be advised that the Borough has identified responsive records maintained by the Police Department. However, due to the volume of footage and the necessary redactions required to protect privacy and exempt information (e.g., faces of civilians, license plates, medical scenes, etc.), the estimated cost for duplication, review, and redaction is $300.00.
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(f), no work will commence until we receive confirmation from you to proceed and payment of the estimated cost.
Please confirm whether you would like the Borough to proceed with processing your request at this estimated cost.
Please email response to [Englewood Cliffs Borough request email]
Thank you,
Borough of Englewood Cliffs
