Here's an interesting link to a local OPRA request submitted to a local NJ TWP.

All persons with a radio that has access to LPD communication - an Open Public Records Act request to Lakewood Township

This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message. Records requested: A list of all persons that have a portable or mobile radio programmed by the Lakewood police...

That should be easy to avoid releasing, a user list of who is issued what hardware say in the format: Name, ID#, radio ID/Serial, etc. could be construed as PII, or employee information, confidential information, etc. I would be surprised if that is released under a FOIA request.

Not exactly... it's pretty routine to request an employee name/salary/benefits/etc list from the town. They can't refuse to provide a list of employee names to you.

The denial reason is pretty interesting though - I wonder if rephrasing it as simply "a list of users who have been assigned a radio" would get a better response. Surely they have to know who has radios...
