The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records January 12, 2022 SPR21/3389 Scott Besarick Sergeant City of Brockton Police Department 7 Commercial Street Brockton, MA 02301 Dear Sergeant Besarick: I have received the petition of Sean Hempseed appealing the response of the Brockton Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On December 9, 2021, Mr. Hempseed requested various records regarding a named officer. On December 23, 2021, the Department responded. Unsatisfied with the Department’s response, Mr. Hempseed petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/3389, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department responded to Mr. Hempseed’s request with a further response sent on January 5, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s December 23nd response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Hempseed may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
