Steven R. Smith

Newton Police Department Information Technology Bureau 1321 Washington Street Newton, MA 02465

Dear Mr. Smith:

I have received the petition of Jamie Truman appealing the nonresponse of the City of Newton Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Ms. Truman requested the block list of social media accounts maintained by the Department. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Ms. Truman petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result.

Subsequent to the intervention by a staff member of the Public Records Division, I learned that the Department responded to Ms. Truman’s request with a response sent on February 27, 2020. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Truman may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).

2 busca.

Rebecca S. Murray 3

Supervisor of Records
