Dear Chip McCoy,
The Camden County Police Department (CCPD) provided a copy of a Purchase Order that they deemed responsive to your request. However, the CCPD staff could not search for other records because you did not provide the names of the vendors. Without that information, it is impossible to conduct a search. My office also checked with the Office of Finance and we were informed that Finance cannot search unless they have the name(s) of the vendor(s).
Your request
1) The name of any vendors or manufacturers that your department purchases license plate reader technology from. This may include but is not limited to cameras, software, or other technology to support automated reading of license plates in the areas your department serves.
2) The name of any vendors that your department partners with to install or perform maintenance on license plate reading technology (e.g., cameras and other software). These partners may also be known as integrators.
3) Where available, the contracts or purchase agreements with the vendors or parties included in the above two bullets."
Custodian's Response
This request is too broad or contains insufficient information and seeks documents that are not specifically “identifiable” for the Police Department and the Office of Finance to gather a response. As such, the request submitted is a wholesale request for information that is not encompassed by the intent of OPRA as has been articulated in N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1, et. seq. and MAG Entertainment v. Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J. Super. 534 (App. Div. 2005).
Please submit a new request, with the pertinent information to allow the departments to conduct a proper search of their records. As such, this correspondence constitutes completion of your request.
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1, et seq. if your request for access to a government record has been denied or unfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a right to challenge the decision by the County of Camden to deny access. As provided by law, you have the right to either institute a proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey or file a complaint with the Government Records Council (GRC) by completing their Denial of Access Complaint Form located at the GRC’s website at www.state.nj.us/grc. (www.state.nj.us/grc)
You may contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ, 08625, by e-mail at grc@dca.state.nj.us. The GRC can also answer other questions about the law. All questions regarding complaints filed in Superior Court should be directed to the Superior Court. (mailto:grc@dca.state.nj.us)
Should you have any questions, please contact the Custodian of Records at (856) 225-2131.
