Special Duty Lawrence Township Police Department
Dear Lawrence Township (Mercer),
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
Hello, My name is Elliot Ness and I am working on a research project about law enforcement agencies in New Jersey. I have noticed several interesting OPRA requests for Lawrenceville here on Opramachine. I would like to request the total amount of administrative and vehicle fees paid to Lawrence Township for use of police vehicles and personnel for off duty police employment in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022.
I would also like to know the amount of special duty compensation earned by each member of the Lawrence Township Police Department in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022.
Yours faithfully,
Elliot Ness
