To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
A spreadsheet listing all officer-involved shootings by Newark police from 2013-2020, including incident-level information specifying the date of each incident, race and gender of all subjects involved, what weapon if any they were armed with, any injuries or deaths resulting from the incident, the names of all officers involved, whether administrative investigations found the incidents to be justified under police department policy and any disciplinary actions taken against the officers as a result of the incident. If all aspects of this request are not available, please provide all relevant information responsive to this request.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 7 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Samuel Sinyangwe

Good Morning;
The Office of the Clerk of the City of Newark has assigned your request tracking number PD-21-1081 and forwarded it to the Police Division.
In order to gather the documents responsive to your requests, the OPRA unit sends your requests to the respective City Departments, which actually created, received, or retained these documents. Since the State of Emergency, crucial City Staff have retired, become sick, and work a staggered schedule, which makes the time needed to gather responsive documents far longer than usual.
This Office received your request on or about August 18, 2021 and anticipates a response on or about September 18, 2021. A copy of your request is attached hereto.
