Take Action on Hopatcong ALPR Cameras

Real, current ways to reach the people who set policy for Hopatcong's ALPR program and the agencies that run it, plus how to show up and be heard at a Borough Council meeting.

Contact your council and the ALPR agencies

The Mayor and Borough Council set policy and approve budget for Hopatcong. The Hopatcong Police Department operates the ALPR cameras day to day. The Borough Clerk is the records custodian who processes public records requests.

Attend a council meeting

Borough Council holds regular meetings at 7:30 PM on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month, in the Municipal Building, unless otherwise noted.

Every meeting includes a Public Comment portion, when any resident can speak. Residents may also comment on ordinances before they receive a final vote. Comments are limited to three minutes per person, per meeting.

Meetings can also be attended remotely by Zoom. Meeting times and the Zoom meeting ID can both change from meeting to meeting, so this page does not print a specific Zoom link that could go stale. Instead, use the link below to the Borough's own agendas and minutes page, which is where the Borough posts the current schedule and remote-attendance details before each meeting.

Find the current Zoom link

The Borough publishes the remote-attendance link for each meeting on this page, so it stays current even if the meeting ID changes.
