Hello,

Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(f), requestors should use the agency’s official OPRA request form, but are permitted to submit their request via “a letter, or an email” that includes all information required on the adopted form. Id. This includes answering the certification questions related to “commercial purpose” use and whether the requestor is seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding (including case identifiers if “yes”). This new statutory requirement represents a significant change from the GRC’s prior position after Renna v. Cnty. of Union 407 N.J. Super. 230 (App. Div. 2009) that a written equivalent request would be considered a valid OPRA request if it clearly identified itself as an OPRA request. Custodians may deny access to a written equivalent OPRA request that does not include all form information or that contains substantially more information than required on the form. N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(f).

Please submit your request via the SDL Portal, or complete the attached request form and email it to [email address] .

Subject: OPRA request - “Requesting Secaucus Police body-worn camera footage of a police pursuit on a uber eats bicyclist ending in a bank on September 24, 2025 at ~4:14 PM.”

Hello,

I would like to request body-worn camera footage from the Secaucus Police Department under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA).

The incident occurred on September 24, 2025 at approximately 4:14 PM. The video involves a police pursuit that ends inside a bank in Secaucus, NJ.

Please let me know if you need more details to locate the footage, and notify me of any fees associated with providing a copy.

Thank you,
