The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records March 8, 2022 SPR22/0518 Jacqueline Cook Records Access Officer Lowell Police Department 50 Arcand Drive Lowell, MA 01852 Dear Ms. Cook: I have received the petition of Kevin J. Goscila appealing the nonresponse of the Lowell Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On February 14, 2022, Mr. Goscila requested “…all records, a table of contents or other list of the Department’s general orders.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Goscila petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/0518, was opened as a result. Subsequently, the Department provided a response dated March 7, 2022 to Mr. Goscila’s request. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Goscila 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. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Kevin J.
