Dear Bridgewater 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:
Dear Public Records Officer,

Under the authority granted by the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.), I am formally requesting the release of all body-worn camera and dashcam footage pertaining to the specific incident outlined below:

Incident Case Number: 24220775
Officer Name & Badge Number:
1. Ofc M Hoelzel #90203 = (Bodycam)

4. Sgt K Florczak #90175 = (Bodycam)
5. Ofc Thiel = (Bodycam)

This request encompasses all unaltered footage from both body-worn cameras and vehicle dashcams involved in the incident.

In compliance with the New Jersey OPRA, I expect a response to this request within seven business days as stipulated by state law. Failure to meet this deadline will result in my seeking judicial relief to enforce compliance under the statute.

Please inform me of any fees associated with the processing of this request prior to proceeding. The timely and unimpeded access to these records is essential for maintaining public transparency and upholding New Jersey's statutory requirements.

Should there be any need for clarification or further details regarding this request, please contact me directly without delay.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your cooperation.

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.
