The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records July 28, 2021 SPR21/1692 Jennifer M. Staples, Esq. Records Access Officer Department of State Police Office of the Legal Counsel 470 Worcester Road Framingham, MA 01702 Dear Attorney Staples: I have received the appeal petition of Elizabeth T. Mone, Esq. appealing the response of the Department of State Police (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On December 28, 2020, Attorney Mone requested the following records for an identified police officer, “…1. Detailed timesheets, including overtime pay, for February 2013; and 2. [t]he public portions of the officer’s internal affairs records.” Previous appeal This request was the subject of a previous appeal. See SPR21/1437 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (June 21, 2021). The Department responded on July 1, 2021. Unsatisfied with the response, Attorney Mone appealed and SPR21/1692 was opened as a result. Based upon a conversation between a Public Records Department staff attorney and a Department representative, it is my understanding that the Department intends on providing a subsequent response to Attorney Mone to address her concerns. Accordingly, the Department is ordered to provide Attorney Mone with a response to her request in a manner consistent with the Public Records Law and its Access Regulations within 10 business days. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Attorney Mone may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). 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 Jennifer Staples, Esq.
