See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On February 10, 2026, Mr. Eledroos requested: [1] [100] randomly chosen police reports from 2025 for the following crimes: motor vehicle related incidents, shoplifting, petit larceny, drug possession, and drug possession with intent to distribute. I would prefer cases that resulted in an arrest, and closed/disposed cases where available[;] [2] I would also like to request the corresponding body-worn camera footage for each of those incidents, where available[.] Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Eledroos petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR26/0724, 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 Mr. Eledroos 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. Mr. Eledroos may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
