The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records September 9, 2021 SPR21/2169 James T. McIntyre Chief of Police Stoneham Police Department 47 Central Street Stoneham, MA 02180 Dear Chief McIntyre: I have received the petition of Michael Motherway, appealing the response of the Stoneham Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On August 18, 2021, Mr. Motherway requested, an incident report from 2014-2019. On August 23, 2021, the Department responded. Unsatisfied with the Department’s response, Mr. Motherway petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/2169, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department responded to Mr. Motherway’s request with a supplemental response sent on September 1, 2021. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s August 23rd response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Motherway 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: Michael Motherway 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
