Open Public Records

The seven (7) business day response time does not commence until the records custodian receives the request form. If you submit the request form to any other officer or employee of the Westwood Police Department, that officer or employee must either forward the request to the appropriate custodian, or direct you to the appropriate custodian. N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.h.

​

In order for your request to be processed, the form MUST BE SIGNED in the designated areas. Failure to do so may delay and/or terminate your request. You may submit the completed request form in person, via postal mail, e-mail, or fax.
