The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records June 20, 2019 SPR19/1177 Ann Marie Gill Bridgewater Police Department 220 Pleasant Street Bridgewater, MA 02324 Dear Ms. Gill: I have received the petition of Patrick Mason appealing the nonresponse of the Bridgewater Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § lOA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Mason requested records regarding an identified motorcycle accident. Having received no response, Mr. Mason petitioned this office. Subsequent to the intervention by a member of the Public Records Division, this office was notified that a response was provided, dated June 17, 2019. Whereas this matter was opened based upon the Department's failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Mason may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, ~~ Supervisor of Records cc: Patrick Mason One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre• pre@sec.state.ma.us
