That would include cop(ies) of fees, police manhours spent and required to maintain re-accreditation status, hours Department spent during 2018-2021 cycle training its force to comply with those standards, copy of re-accreditation certificate, and correspondence with accrediting entity.” On September 27, 2021, Mr. Mazurczyk requested, “… all records pertinent to [re- accreditation] effort of Certified, Accredited and Re-Accredited including copies of fees, police man-hours spent and required to maintain re-accreditation status, hours department spent during 2018-2021 cycle training its force to comply with mandatory standards, copy of reaccreditation certificate, and correspondence with accrediting entity.” Prior Appeals This request was the subject of previous appeals. See SPR21/1354 Supervisor of Records Determination (June 9, 2021); SPR21/2740 Determination of Records (November 2, 2021); SPR21/3129 Supervisor of Records Determination (December 14, 2021) and SPR22/0718 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (April 11, 2022). The Department responded on April 12, 2022. Unsatisfied with the Department’s response, Mr. Mazurczyk petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/1161, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided a further response on May 4, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the of the Department’s April 12th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Mazurczyk may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
