As described in the headline I'm researching the process of acquiring a permit in NJ. Robbinsville TWN (link below) requires two references who MUST be residents of New Jersey themselves. In addition the form is asking to fill out several other questionnaires which are not present in other townships, for example Springfield TWN here:

Is this true for any NJ county that I need to provide written references from two NJ residents? Or is the Robbinsville Police dept asking me for something they shouldn't have?
4. State of New Jersey Application page: Question # 29 must be answered with complete mailing address.
Reference forms should be given to your references. Applicant should fill out their name and address and
date of birth on form. References CANNOT be a relative. They may be a neighbor, co-worker, or a friend.
References must also be a resident of New Jersey. You must return references with your firearms packet
paperwork.
