Devito Police Sergeant Records & Scheduling Billerica Police Department 6 Good Street Billerica, MA 01821 Dear Sergeant Devito: I have received the petition of Douglas Dunphy appealing the response of the Billerica 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 January 3, 2025, Mr. Dunphy requested, “police incident reports that may involve [named individuals].” The Department responded on January 8, 2025. Unsatisfied with the response, Mr. Dunphy petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/0077, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided a further response on January 10, 2025. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s January 8th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Dunphy may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s January 10th response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Douglas Dunphy 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
