Anthony Werra v. Massachusetts State Police (SPR 20252905)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records October 17, 2025 SPR25/2905 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 Anthony Werra appealing the response 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 September 5, 2025, Mr. Werra requested “records related to traffic stops conducted by Massachusetts State Police Unit 1288 between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM on September 3, 2025, on the following roadways:” [1] Route 25 northbound (Wareham/Bourne area) [; and] [2] Route 28 northbound (Bourne area)[.] Specifically, Mr. Werra requested: [1] Daily log entries or incident reports documenting these stops[;] [2] Any citations issued [; and] [3] Narrative portions of the reports, if available[.] The Department responded on September 8, 2025. Unsatisfied with the Department’s response, Mr. Werra petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/2905, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Mr. Werra with a supplemental response on October 9, 2025. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s September 8th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Werra may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s October 9th response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
