Police Training and Guidance Documents

The request was successful.

Dear Collingswood Borough,

This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
Any directives, policies, orders and/or training documents (in any format (slides, word processor document, pdf file) that instructs or sets a standard for when a uniformed police officer can sign a complaint versus when the officer should instruct the complainant to sign a citizen-issued complaint. Any records that explain the same differently for indictable and non-indictable offenses is also requested.

Sworn officers of the department have provided discordant and at times out right conflicting explanations of this procedure. Accordingly, the aforementioned records are requested to understand what the general expectation is of officer-initiated complaints.

Yours faithfully,

Brian F. McBride
