See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On March 25, 2026, Ms. Valentino requested, “. . . every police incident log entry (including any missing person reports) that involved [an identified individual] or . . . Fairmount [Street] from 2025. [I]f a log entry exists, please provide the incident report. . . .” The Department provided a response on April 7, 2026, which included five pages of responsive records with redactions.
