NJ21st recieved an email from a Berkeley Heights resident after the publication of Mr. Samson's article that included all of the Executive Orders signed by Mayor Devanney in 2024 and 2025. These documents appeared to be the product of an OPRA request submitted on 02/01/2025.

As a follow-up to our January 17, 2025, article on the NJ OSC investigation into police training that promoted unconstitutional tactics, NJ21st submitted an OPRA request for invoices related to these trainings for the BHPD.
According to documents from the township, one BHPD officer attended training sessions conducted by this vendor in 2019 and 2020—the period covered in the OSC investigation—at a total cost of $344.
