The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records February 28, 2023 SPR23/0289 Alexandra Hayden Records Access Officer Chelmsford Police Department 2 Olde North Road Chelmsford, MA 01824 Dear Ms. Cameron: I have received the petition of Stanley Mazurczyk appealing the response of the Chelmsford 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 October 24, 2022, Mr. Mazurczyk stated “I’m in the process of filing civilian complaint against Department employee and found the complaint form has changed…I request the Department provide that information so I can complete the form…” Prior Appeals The requested records were the subject of prior appeals. See SPR22/2561 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (November 28, 2022) and SPR22/2927 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (January 6, 2023). The Department provided a response on January 19, 2023. Unsatisfied with the Department’s response, Mr. Mazurczyk petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/0289, was opened as a result. Based upon a conversation between a Public Records Division senior attorney and a Department representative, it is my understanding that the Department intends on providing a further response to Mr. Mazurczyk. Accordingly, the Department is ordered to provide Mr. Mazurczyk with said response in a manner consistent with the Public Records Law and its Regulations within 10 business days. A copy of any such response must be provided to this office. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Mr. Mazurczyk may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
