Atlantic City, NJ Police Withholding Body Camera Footage of Mayor

Atlantic City Board of Education Member Ron Bailey has been attempting to get police body camera footage of Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small since January 7, 2025.

Bailey’s Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request involves an Atlantic City Police incident, involving Marty Small.

The incident involves Marty Small arriving to a home, with multiple police officers in tow … as he believed that his Daughter was inside a home, located on the 1600 block of Gramercy Avenue (Michigan Avenue).

In real time (on January 5, 2025) a reliable Atlantic City Police Department source confirmed to me that Small was at the scene because he had received a phone call that "his daughter was at this address and in distress."

Here is a link to our comprehensive (previous) coverage, including photos.

Local Atlantic City activist (and, current Atlantic City Council candidate) Steve Young was on the scene and took the following photos, see below:

It is complete neglect by the Marty Small Administration. The graffiti, trash and overall disrepair is disgraceful and must be rectified. Here is what it looks like:
