Andrew Quemere v. Revere, City of - Office of the City Clerk (SPR 20201660)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records September 16, 2020 SPR20/1660 Captain Michelle Mangino Revere Police Department 400 Revere Beach Parkway Revere, MA 02151 Dear Cpt. Mangino: I have received the petition of Mr. Andrew Quemere appealing the nonresponse of the Revere Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, on August 24, 2020, Mr. Quemere requested the following: 1. “The police department's current use-of-force policies” 2. “A blank copy of each form used to report use-of-force incidents (if the form is part of a computer program and is not easily exportable, it is acceptable to provide screenshots)” 3. “All division-wide and department-wide use-of-force reports/audits for the years 2010 to the present (by division-wide and department-wide, I mean reports/audits that examine use of force by an entire division or the entire department, not reports/audits about a specific use-of-force incident)” 4. “All data on the number of use-of-force incidents for the years 2010 to the present” 5. “All data on the total number of use-of-force incidents involving each department Employee.” Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Quemere 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 provided Mr. Quemere with a response to his request, dated 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

Captain Michelle Mangino SPR20/1660 Page 2 September 16, 2020 September 14, 2020. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of response to Mr. Quemere’s request, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. It is my understanding that Mr. Quemere has appealed the Department’s response and SPR20/1691 has been opened as a result to address those issues. Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Andrew Quemere
