The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records March 9, 2022 SPR22/0440 Allison Mondello Primary RAO Massachusetts State Police 470 Worcester Road Framingham, MA 01702 Dear Ms. Mondello: I have received the petition of Cora Flynn of the Committee for Public Counsel Services appealing the nonresponse of the Massachusetts State Police (Department) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On February 7, 2022, Ms. Flynn requested, “[a]ny and all Compliance Audit Reports that describe certain members are not in compliance with General Order ADM-47 and/or specifying the remedial action taken submitted by any/all Barracks from January 1, 2008 to present.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Flynn petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/0440, was opened as a result. Despite being notified of the opening of this appeal, it remains unclear whether the Department has provided a response. As such, the Department is ordered to provide Ms. Flynn with a response to her request, provided in a manner consistent with this order, the Public Records Law and its Access Regulations within ten (10) business days. A copy of any such response must be provided to this office. Ms. Flynn may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
