See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On November 6, 2023, Ms. Corby requested the following records: [1.] … all call log records pertaining to calls made to the Canton Police Department on November 5th, 2023, specifically related to the response of peaceful protesters on Washington Street in Canton from 12PM-3:00PM…. [2.] [A]ll video recordings of the peaceful protestors.… [3.] [R]ecordings of dispatch call logs and or computer aided dispatch logs.… [4.] [R]ecording of radio transmissions during that time period related to that area. Prior Appeals The requested records were the subject of prior appeals. See SPR23/2840 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (November 28, 2023) and SPR23/2871 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (December 13, 2023). In my December 13th determination, I closed the appeal after I learned that the Department intended on providing a further response to Ms. Corby. On December 14, 2023, the Department responded and provided some responsive records. Unsatisfied with the Department’s response, Ms. Corby petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/3023, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Ms. Corby with further responses on December 15, 2023, December 18, 2023, and December 28, 2023.
