PeanutButterJelly20 x v. Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission (SPR 20250503)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records March 3, 2025 SPR25/0503 Kerri L. Johnson Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission 84 State Street, Suite 200 Boston, MA 02109 Dear Ms. Johnson: I have received the petition of PeanutButterJelly20 (requestor) appealing the response of the Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission (Commission) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On January 13, 2025, the requestor sought “[a]ny records involving [an identified individual] of the Methuen Police Department pertaining to [the identified individual’s] removal from the POST list for criminal conduct; and, any emails to/from POST Commission from [an identified individual] of the Methuen Police Department.” On January 27, 2025, the Commission provided the requestor with a response. Unsatisfied with the response, the requestor petitioned this office, and this appeal, SPR25/0503, was opened as a result. Subsequent to the opening of this appeal, I learned that the Commission provided the requestor with a response on February 28, 2025. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Commission’s January 27th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. The requestor may appeal the substantive nature of the Commission’s February 28th response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: PeanutButterJelly20 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
