The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records December 4, 2025 SPR25/3439 Allison Mondello Record Access Officr Massachusetts Department of State Police 470 Worcester Road Framingham, MA 01702 Dear Ms. Mondello: I have received the petition of Steven Stewart 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 November 4, 2025, Mr. Stewart requested “any and all AVL data, including but not limited to GPS coordinates, speed, direction, ignition status, associated with [an identified] Massachusetts State Police trooper for the full 24-hour period of December 1st 2024 from 12:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Stewart petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/3439, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Mr. Stewart with a response on December 1, 2025. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Stewart may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Steven Stewart 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
