The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records July 29, 2024 SPR24/2049 Karen Lambert Administrative Assistant Marlborough Police Department 355 Bolton Street Marlborough, MA 01752 Dear Ms. Lambert: I have received the petition of Colman Herman appealing the nonresponse of the Marlborough 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 July 2, 2024, Mr. Herman requested, “any and all records dealing with any and all physical and/or mental requirements for active-duty Marlborough police officers.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Herman petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/2049, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Mr. Herman with a response dated July 18, 2024. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Herman may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Colman Herman 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
