See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On April 1, 2021, Mr. Innis requested, “… colored copies of [his] front mug shot … and … [his] side mug shot and copy of [his] intake sheet … related to [an identified] warrant and [identified] incident.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Innis petitioned this office and SPR21/1062, was opened as a result. Based on a communication between a Public Records Division staff member and a City representative, it is my understanding that the City intends on providing a subsequent response to Mr. Innis.

It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Mr. Innis may appeal the substantive nature of the City’s response within ninety (90) days.
