Direct answer
Search OPRS by the responsible agency and identifier first, then use the county OPRA route for an existing record that is not exposed through the direct index.

Use OPRA for the remaining county fileSubmit a county OPRA request when the existing record is not exposed through OPRS.4
Leave the county route for separate custodiansUse the appropriate court or law-enforcement source when the record is outside OPRS and county OPRA custody.OPRS is broad, but it is not every Monmouth County record
OPRS provides direct access to many records organized by agency. Its breadth makes it a strong first stop, but lack of an OPRS match does not prove that every Monmouth County office lacks a responsive file.
Court and law-enforcement records can have separate custodians or restrictions, and some county records require OPRA rather than direct index access.
Keep the OPRS agency, record type and party, property or document identifier with the result. If the search becomes an OPRA request, preserve the request reference separately.
