Andrew Quemere v. Quincy, City of - Police Department (SPR 20221302)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records June 21, 2022 SPR22/1302 Lieutenant Terence McDonnell Quincy Police Department Inspector of Divisions 1 Sea Street Quincy, MA 02169 Dear Lieutenant McDonnell: I have received the petition of Andrew Quemere 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 April 21, 2022, Mr. Quemere requested, “[a]ll internal affairs data submitted to the Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission…for both active officers and transferred officers.” On May 5, 2022, the Department responded. Unsatisfied with the Department’s response, Mr. Quemere petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/1302, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department responded to Mr. Quemere’s request with a further response sent on June 8, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s May 5th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Quemere may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s June 8th response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Andrew Quemere One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us
