Subject: [External] Request for Records, 04.25.2023, Cohen
This is
request for records under the Massachusetts Public Records Law (M. G. L.
Chapter 66, Section 10).
On
February 16, 2023 Town of Chelmsford (Town) manager, Paul E. Cohen, informed
Town Select Board that Police Department Chief James Spinney plans to retire at
the end of May, see attached. It’s unclear if that retirement was to occur in
2023? Mr. Cohen wrote,
“Similar
to what occurred at the time of the retirement of Chief Spinney’s predecessor
Chief Murphy, I plan to utilize a public safety consulting firm to conduct an
assessment center of the police chief candidates. The
applicant pool would be limited to qualified members of the Chelmsford Police
Department. I would then bring forward my appointment for
confirmation by the Select Board. This would occur at the beginning
of May in order to allow for a successful transition between Chief Spinney and the
new police chief.”
I’m
requesting Town provide,
[1] Chief
James Spinney retirement communications with Mr. Cohen that led to above
announcement.
[2] Name
of the public safety consulting firm Town hired to assess police chief
candidates and record of retainer/fees and any other pertinent records.
[2] List
of qualified applicants for the position of chief of police.
Please let me know immediately
if you require clarification to process this request within timeframe allowed
by the Public Records Law.
Sincerely,
Stanley
Mazurczyk
