The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records November 25, 2024 SPR24/3181 Sergeant Mark Panagiotakos Lawrence Police Department Records Division 90 Lowell Street Lawrence, MA 01840 Dear Sergeant Panagiotakos: I have received the petition of Sara Plansky appealing the nonresponse of the Lawrence 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 22, 2024, Ms. Plansky requested, “[a]ll reports, CADs, notes, memos, FIOs or any other record or documentation mentioning the name [identified individual] or [identified individual] from September 1, 2023 to present.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Plansky petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/3181, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Ms. Plansky with a response on November 25, 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. Ms. Plansky 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: Sara Plansky 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
