Official Statement

“We believe there are text messages and/or other communications between Mr. Kealy and his commanding officers, Messrs. DeGroot and Glover, demonstrating that Mr. Kealy was ordered by them to place a tracking device on the suspect’s vehicle,” his attorney, Lee Vartan, wrote in a letter to Cohen in August. “If those messages exist, they are also evidence that both Messrs. DeGroot and Glover lied (repeatedly) to investigators and your office.”

New Jersey Open Public Records Act

New Jersey S.A. 47:1A-13

The New Jersey Open Public Records Act became the state’s sunshine law in 2002, replacing, and significantly improving, a pre-existing right-to-know law. Public records includes any paper, written or printed book, document, drawing, map, plan, photograph, microfilm, data processed or image processed document, information stored or maintained electronically or by sound-recording or in a similar device, or any copy thereof, that has been made, maintained or kept on file.

Anyone but convicted criminals seeking information on victims may request public documents from the state. There is no requirement for a statement of purpose and no restrictions placed on the use of records. The New Jersey Open Public Records Act allows for up to seven days to respond to a records request.
