Neville Dukes County Sheriff’s Department 149 Main Street P.O. Box 252 Edgartown, MA 02539 Dear Sheriff Neville: I have received the petition of Mr. Todd Wallack appealing the nonresponse of the Dukes County Sheriff’s Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Wallack requested “documents showing the names of sworn officers within the Dukes County Jail and House of Correction who were terminated for misconduct, agreed to resign or retire to resolve misconduct accusations, or resigned or retired with a pending internal affairs investigation since January 1, 2010.” Having received no response, he petitioned this office. Subsequently, this office was notified that a response was provided, dated August 5, 2021. Where this matter was opened based upon the Department’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Wallack may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Todd Wallack 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
