This is a follow up to request number PR-332-2021:

I am appealing the withholding of documents in my OPRA request, PR-332-2021. All correspondence regarding this request can be read here:
http://url2602.justfoia.com/ls/click?upn=XfJvxk0gd1RbNAoCtqw15kGP7C8a-2FU8jKMpmbYB9-2Bw9S28xrM8-2FHesYK4Etqi-2BKQmke7bX71x21L-2FutBFZ077gx5Waf04Xbu3iwEN7jpuHWcFLM8s8fpB2bk-2BGjOQ5bodESJ5uVz8NlUqYo42t3oux3VVhpplo6zWLCsioNS2dA-3DF42a_Evmj34PJ90-2BCFX9lyaeRKJdt4gDzGQIejFbV7U7A-2FCZPuWl3X4jpEQJTZKqzDqV1mHmY92nDFGxgZ65KiAlHa263h-2FB6sv-2BZmTHIEtAPvWO7krHqhsmkiMsn8dK38ANbrhrCze-2BEwrBUBm7rkHg-2BJhIqpNmWXdDdzd-2FltFYPi2r76vx4ADKEnnysTXt3nFH3Qt5-2FMCU1UtGM04TRw08E4uCt-2BMpM-2FnQwKcT5xtu9p5Q-3D

I requested "All incident reports and other correspondences related to the officer-involved shooting of James Manzo in July 2019." Incident reports are routinely released, and I don't see how they can be withheld in this instance. Further, it is unclear why correspondence about this shooting can be indefinitely withheld as "criminal investigatory records."

I also requested "all records documenting any Asbury Park Police Department policy changes made in the wake of that shooting." These were also withheld as "criminal investigatory records," which is untrue on its face. Policy-related documents are not investigatory records. These must be released.

Thank you,
Michael Tracey

Dear Muckrock,

This communication follows-up your June 27, 2021 email concerning OPRA PR-332-2021. As noted in the original response, the matter and all associated records are currently in the possession of the New Jersey Attorney General’s office for an ongoing investigation (N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1). They are therefore no eligible for release at this time. You were and are again requested to contact them to obtain records. As for policy changes, the City has no responsive documents.
