Vehicle Pursuits/Refusal to Stop
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
