Dear Jacqueline Luthcke,
I think it was Steven Wronko v City of Asbury Park, NJ back in 2017 or so...?!

Dear Jacqueline Luthcke,
Just giving you a heads up, I will be requesting 36 policies or/and procedures all together. I'm just breaking it down to make it easier for the agency.
Yours sincerely,
ASK NJ Media Co.
There are a few items that I am unsure as to exactly what you are requesting.
6. Cash accounts and law enforcement equipment (how we handle cash accounts is fine, but I'm not sure what you are looking for regarding law enforcement equipment)
7. Citizen initiated complaint
11. Emotionally Disturbed Persons.
I can send the formal response about needing clarification if you prefer, but was hoping this will do.

Jen,
I am also guessing that you simply want the information emailed to this address? Since there is nothing about it in your request, I wanted to make sure before I sent anything.

Jen,
This request will be slightly delayed as it is larger than the last request. I anticipate having all information to you by March 20. Our policies are not the same as Paramus', so it takes more time to identify and review the policies.
