The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records April 11, 2023 SPR23/0586 Lori Hall Records Access Officer East Longmeadow Police Department 160 Somers Road East Longmeadow, MA 01028 Dear Ms. Hall: I have received the petition of Detective Carly Topulos, appealing the response of the East Longmeadow Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On January 21, 2023, Detective Topulos requested numerous records regarding a named individual. On January 24, 2023, the Department responded. Unsatisfied with the Department’s response, Detective Topulos petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/0586, was opened as a result. Based upon a conversation between a Public Records Division staff attorney and a Department representative, it is my understanding that the Department intends on providing a subsequent response to Detective Topulos. Accordingly, the Department is ordered to provide Detective Topulos with said response in a manner consistent with this order, 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. Detective Topulos may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Detective Carly Topulos 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
