Natasha Nese v. Quincy, City of - Police Department (SPR 20212480)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records October 12, 2021 SPR21/2480 Lt. Terence M. McDonnell Inspector of Divisions Quincy Police Department 1 Sea Street Quincy, MA 02169 Dear Lt. McDonnell: I have received the petition of Natasha Nese, Esq. appealing the response of the Quincy Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On September 3, 2021, Attorney Nese requested numerous records regarding police interactions related to firearms from 2011 to present. On September 17, 2021, the Department responded. Unsatisfied with the Department’s response, Attorney Nese petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/2480, was opened as a result. Based upon a conversation between a Public Records Division staff attorney and a Department representative, it is my understanding that the Department intends on providing a subsequent response to Attorney Nese. Accordingly, the Department is ordered to provide Attorney Nese 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 Nese 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: Natasha Nese, Esq.
