The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records September 15, 2025 SPR25/2621 Allison Mondello Public Records Manager Office of the Chief Legal Counsel Massachusetts Department of State Police 50 Maple Street Milford, MA 01757 Dear Ms. Mondello: I have received the petition of Mateo Vazquez, Esq., of Jeffrey Glassman Injury Lawyers, appealing the nonresponse of the 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 August 1, 2025, Attorney Vazquez requested, “... any and all public records to be sent in electronic format related to a motor vehicle accident that occurred on October 10, 2022 between 20:30-22:00 at the intersection of Memorial Drive and River Street, in Cambridge, MA. Public records include but are not limited to police reports, body camera, videos, photographs, accident reconstruction reports, witness statements etc.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Attorney Vazquez petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/2621, was opened as a result. Despite being notified of the opening of this appeal, it remains unclear whether the Department has provided a response. Accordingly, the Department is ordered to provide Attorney Vazquez with a response to his request, provided in a manner consistent with this order, the Public Records Law and its Regulations within ten (10) business days. A copy of any such response must be provided to this office. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of the response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Attorney Vazquez may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
