Stanley Mazurczyk v. Chelmsford Police Department (SPR 20201708)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records September 30, 2020 SPR20/1708 Marissa Cameron Chelmsford Police Records Chelmsford Police Department 3 Olde North Road Chelmsford, MA 01824 Dear Ms. Cameron: I have received the petition of Stanley Mazurczyk appealing the response of the Chelmsford 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 27, 2020, Mr. Mazurczyk requested, “…digital copies of civilian complaints against Chelmsford police officers received, filed, and/or processed in 2015. Please make certain to include received but not filed and/or processed complaints.” The Department provided a response on September 11, 2020. Unsatisfied with this response, Mr. Mazurczyk petitioned this office, and SPR201708 was opened as a result. Current Appeal In its September 11th response, the Department states “the Supervisor of Records already addressed this request in SPR17/1317. Therefore, there will be a charge to produce such records. Please let me know if you would like a cost estimate regarding your request.” Conclusion This matter has been addressed in SPR17/1317, in which I found the Department had met its burden to assess a fee for the production of responsive records. Accordingly, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc Stanley Mazurczyk 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
