Dear Cranford Township,

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-5(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.

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

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

2. All Body camera footage of the arresting officer and backup officer to include 5 minutes before arrest up to the release of the Mr. Thilly.

3. Open Public Records requests forms or common law emails requesting records associated with William “Will” Thilly from July 1, 2026 to July 31, 2026
