Millburn, NJ Injury Referral Information

For a copy of an existing incident or motor-vehicle accident report handled by Millburn Police, use the Records Bureau rather than the new-incident phone route. The Bureau says it maintains those police reports and that incident and accident reports must be received in person at $0.05 per page. It also lists a $5 charge for mailed incident or accident reports and a $5 charge for photo, video, or audio disks. These are published municipal terms; confirm the current charge and any eligibility or identification requirements before relying on them. [1]

The Records Bureau is listed at Millburn Police Department, 435 Essex Street, Millburn, NJ 07041, with phone numbers 973-564-7013 and 973-564-7014. The page publishes Monday-Friday hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It does not state a guaranteed report-completion deadline, so do not assume a turnaround. Ask the Bureau whether the report exists, whether it is releasable, and which delivery method applies. [1]

A request for a copy of an existing police report is different from reporting a new collision or other incident. Millburn lists 973-564-7001 as the Police Department’s non-emergency phone and identifies the department at 435 Essex Street. For an emergency or immediate threat to life or safety, call 911. Do not use this intake for dispatch, a new police report, or urgent medical, fire, or police help. [2]

For broader Township records, Millburn’s official Request page provides an OPRA Request Form and identifies 973-564-7000 as the Township phone. Use the Township’s published OPRA form and instructions for a records request rather than sending a general injury-intake message. The page does not establish a guaranteed response time or a complete fee schedule, so confirm the current submission method, custodian, charges, and any special requirements with the Township. A street-light or other municipal service concern is also separate from both a police report and an OPRA request; use the relevant municipal resource, not our intake. [3]

Once everyone is safe, keep the incident date, exact location, responding agency, report or incident number, photographs, witness details, treatment information, and correspondence together. If you identify the location as Millburn or Short Hills, include the street and agency that responded rather than assuming that a mailing or neighborhood name determines who holds a report. The official Records Bureau page mentions Millburn/Short Hills residents for a separate service, but that wording is not proof that every incident belongs to Millburn Police. Confirm the responding agency before requesting a record. [1]

You may submit a free bilingual inquiry without waiting for every record. Upload only information you are comfortable sharing through an online form, and mark missing reports as pending. WeGotInjured.com cannot request records for you, assess liability or claim value, file a police or municipal report, or promise a participating-attorney introduction. Any attorney independently decides whether to communicate with you and whether representation is appropriate. Do not put sensitive medical or accident details in public comments or emails.
