The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records June 24, 2025 SPR25/1680 Allison Mondello Public Records Manager Massachusetts Department of State Police 50 Maple Street Milford, MA 01757 Dear Ms. Mondello: I have received the petition of Christian Xantus appealing the response of the Massachusetts Department of State Police (Department) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On March 21, 2025, Mr. Xantus sought the following related to an incident on March 21, 2025: [1] A copy of the official incident report related to my 911 call[;] [2] Body-worn camera footage from both [an identified] Trooper and [an identified] Trooper from the time they arrived on the scene until the conclusion of their involvement in the incident[;] [3] Any audio recordings, dispatch logs, or dash camera footage related to the response of [two identified] Troopers. The Department responded on March 21, 2025 and April 3, 2025, assigning the request reference number P003136-032125. Unsatisfied with the responses, Mr. Xantus petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/1680, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Mr. Xantus with an additional response on June 13, 2025. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s March 21, 2025 and April 3, 2025 responses, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Xantus may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s June 13th response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
