AG use of force reports are public records O’Shea v West Milford 410 NJ Super. 371 (App. Div. 2010)
The Attorney General's guidelines, policies and procedures requiring the completion of "Use of Force Reports" (UFRs) and their maintenance in the files of police departments have the force of law for police entities, rending such documents accessible under the Open Public Records Act (OPRA), N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 to -13. Therefore, UFRs do not qualify, generically,
under the "criminal investigatory records" exception of OPRA.
