Dear New Jersey Attorney General's Office,

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:
I am requesting the alcohol, opioid and other drug deaths in 2020 for Wayne and Clifton NJ

Yours faithfully,

Good afternoon. Please be advised that pursuant to regulation, N.J.A.C. 13:1E-2, submission of OPRA requests by e-mail is not permitted. I am therefore not able to accept your email below as a valid request for access to government records. Should you wish to file a records request with any of the divisions within the Department of Law and Public Safety, you may do so via the online portal at: https://www-njlib.state.nj.us/NJ_OPRA/de....

Nevertheless, I have confirmed that this Department does not track deaths by township. Data related to opioid deaths is available by county, not municipality, on the NJ CARES website at: https://www.njoag.gov/programs/nj-cares/.... Please note that the Department of Health (DOH) maintains morbidity statistics and may have data related to the causes of death noted in your email. The contact information for DOH is Center for Health Statistics, New Jersey Department of Health, PO Box 360, Trenton, NJ 08625-0360, Web: www.nj.gov/health/chs, e-mail: [email address]. You may also file an OPRA request with DOH via the online portal noted above.

Finally, information related to opioid deaths by township might also be maintained by the local county prosecutor's office (Passaic County Prosecutor's Office), or the local police departments for the towns noted in your email.
