The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records August 19, 2025 SPR25/2327 Michael Sallese Chief of Police Stow Police Department 305 Great Road Stow, MA 01775 Dear Chief Sallese: I have received the petition of Darby Public Info (requestor) appealing the response of the Stow 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 25, 2025, the requestor sought all records related to an incident that occurred on July 18, 2025. The Department responded on August 6, 2025. Unsatisfied with the Department’s response, the requestor petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/2327, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided the requestor with a supplemental response on August 11, 2025. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s August 6th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. The requestor may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s August 11th response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Darby Public Info 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
