Police Records Request
Dear Old Tappan 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:
Police Body worn camera footage of all motor vehicle accidents between 8-1 and 8-7-25
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.
The maximum authorized cost is $0.
Yours faithfully,
Tony Michael
Good afternoon,
The Old Tappan Police Department is in receipt of your OPRA request for
records.
The Old Tappan Police Department had one incident which fits the requested
criteria, but unfortunately the information you require is not available.
So, in response to your OPRA request, "a search of Agency records has
determined that no responsive record was created for the dates requested,
as the body worn camera's battery was dead during the incident". Thank
you.
Sincerely,
Old Tappan Police Department
Karen Turner
