Dear Atlantic City,

 

 

 

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:

situation and all police radio transmissions detailing the tactical

victim to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center for treatment of
assault-related injuries.
