Dear Howell Township,

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:

Pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.), I am requesting access to the following public records:
1. Call for Service Report – Any records, including call logs, dispatch records, or incident reports, related to a call for service at the residence of Marc Parsi 2 Castle Court Howell NJ regarding a domestic violence, assault or any other Call of Service incident involving his daughter.
2. Police Report(s) – Any initial police reports, arrest reports, or summons issued by the Howell Township Police Department in connection with this incident.
3. Arrest or Summons Records – Documentation of any arrest, charge, or summons issued as a result of this call for service, including date, time, and reason for the action.

If any portion of this request is denied or redacted, please provide a detailed explanation citing the specific legal exemption under OPRA. Additionally, if these records are maintained electronically, I request that they be provided in a digital format.

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.

Good afternoon,

The records requested in OPRA 25-0558, cannot be produced under OPRA because they are exempt from production pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:25-33 as a domestic violence record.

This OPRA request is complete.

Thank you.
