Dear Cranford 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, I request any non-exempt dispatch logs, CAD records, and a list of officers or units dispatched to the area near Burnside Avenue, Williams Street, and Lincoln Avenue in Cranford, NJ, on September 29, 2025, between 5:20 PM and 6:20 PM. Additionally, I request any records or communications indicating mutual aid or assistance provided by neighboring or outside law enforcement agencies during this incident. I also request any publicly released reports or statements related to this incident. If portions of the records are exempt, please provide the non-exempt portions with appropriate redactions and cite the legal basis for any denial.

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,
