Dear Berkeley Township Police Depatment,
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:
1. All police reports for any shootings that have taken place in Berkeley Township for the year of 2025.
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,
Opra123456
REQUESTER:
CAN YOU PLEASE CLARIFY YOUR REQUEST. I DON’T HAVE THE CAPABILITES OF SEARCHING FOR SHOOTINGS. I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE SEVERAL CALLS, FOR PEOPLE HEARING SHOTS FIRED, USUALLY HUNTERS. NOT SURE IF THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. AGAIN, PLEASE CLARIFY. THANKS.

DEAR REQUESTER:
I DON’T HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO SEARCH FOR THAT EXACT TYPE OF CALL. I TRIED SEARCHING JUST THOSE WORDS, AND IT CAME UP WITH ONE CALL. UNLESS YOU HAVE FURTHER INFORMATION, THAT IS ALL I AM SHOWING. I HAVE REQUESTED PERMISSION TO GIVE THIS REPORT OUT FROM THE OCEAN COUNTY PROSECUTORS OFFICE, AS THE CASE IS BEING HEARD THERE.
