Joseph Viglione v. Medford, City of - Police Department (SPR 20211459)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records June 21, 2021 SPR21/1459 Ms. Diane Riley Medford Police Department 100 Main Street Medford, MA 02155 Dear Ms. Riley: I have received the petition of Joseph Viglione appealing the nonresponse of the Medford Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Viglione requested records of “[a]ny police report or Internal Affairs Investigation document or documents on an alleged physical assault by a police captain on a patrol officer.” Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Viglione 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 Mr. Viglione’s request. Where 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. Mr. Viglione may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Joseph Viglione 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
