Subject: OPRA request - Vehicle Pursuits/Refusal to Stop
 

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not
click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know
the content is safe.

To whom it may concern,

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. This request is
among a batch of similar requests made. I request the following records:

- Incident Detail/CAD Reports for instances in which a vehicle pursuit was
initiated by your agency from 1/1/2024 to 8/1/2025

- Incident Detail/CAD Reports for instances in which a vehicle refused to
stop, but a pursuit was NOT initiated from 1/1/2024 to 8/1/2025

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense in New Jersey, any
other state, or the United States.

I will NOT be using these records for any monetary gain or commercial
purpose.

I am NOT seeking these records due to a legal proceeding.

I would like for these records to be delivered 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,

Mr. J. Buford
