Dear South Plainfield Police Department,

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-5(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:

Copies of any South Plainfield Police Department or Borough of South Plainfield policy, directive, memorandum, written guidance, written procedure, email directive, or other written instruction establishing, directing, discussing, or requiring that OPRA requests be submitted to the Borough Attorney or other legal counsel for review prior to a response being issued.

For clarification, I am not requesting attorney-client privileged communications, legal advice, attorney work product, or any other privileged legal records. Rather, I am requesting records that establish, communicate, or implement any policy, procedure, or practice of submitting OPRA requests to legal counsel for review prior to a response being issued.

If no responsive records exist, please so certify.

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,

Fred Young
