Right-to-Know Law
The Pennsylvania Right to Know Law (“RTK Law”) provides that only requests for information about law enforcement matters should be directed to the District Attorney’s Office. The RTK Law and the relevant fee schedule may be found at the website for Pennsylvania’s Office of Open Records.
To make a Right-to-Know Request
Requests should be sufficiently specific to allow the District Attorney’s Office and the Open Records Officer to identify what information is being sought. Requests must also include the name and address to which the District Attorney’s Office and Open Records Officer should respond.
To request information about law enforcement matters, fill out the RTK Form (PDF) and mail it to:
Assistant District Attorney Catherine Kollet
669 Washington Street
Easton, PA 18042
What to Expect after You Submit Your RTK Request
The Open Records Officer has five (5) business days after the request is received to respond. If a response is not sent within that time period, the request shall be deemed denied.
If the request for records is denied because the information requested falls under one of the exceptions set forth under the RTK Law, the requester will be notified of that denial in writing.
RTK Fee Information
If the request is granted, a photocopying fee will be assessed in the amount of 25 cents per page. All other fees will be assessed as governed by the following Fee Structure contained within the RTK Law: https://www.openrecords.pa.gov/RTKL/FeeStructure.cfm
