Rapho Township police report notes rise in Right‑to‑Know requests; clarifies Act 22 and body‑cam recordings
Summary
Police Chief Jason Riggle reported 11 Right‑to‑Know requests so far in 2026 compared with three requests in 2025, and said requests for body‑cam/MVR recordings and Act 22 of 2017 do not fall under Pennsylvania's Right‑to‑Know Law.
Police Chief Jason Riggle presented the May incident report at the Rapho Township Board of Supervisors meeting on June 18 and called attention to a year‑to‑date increase in Right‑to‑Know requests.
Chief Riggle said the township has received 11 RTK requests so far in 2026 versus three total in 2025. He also discussed requests for body‑worn camera or motor‑vehicle recording (MVR) footage and noted that Act 22 of 2017 is not covered by the Pennsylvania Right‑to‑Know Law, distinguishing those records from standard RTK requests.
The report was entered into the meeting record; no board action was taken on the police report during the session.
