Dear Public Records Access Officer,
Under the Massachusetts Public Records Act § 66-10 et seq., I hereby request that I be permitted to obtain copies of the following public records:
Payroll records for every position in the police department for the 2018 calendar year.
Please break up the data into different categories including average hours worked, base pay, overtime pay and any other compensation.
If possible please also break it up by rank as well (Officers, detectives, captains, etc…)
I’m looking for everything including this, but not limited to this, however, the method in which you already keep the data could suffice.
We request the information digitally if possible and in it’s original format, not in the PDF file.
If there are any fees for searching or copying these records, please inform me if the cost will exceed $25. However, please know that I am a journalist for Boston 25 News and as such request a waiver of all fees given that the disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest and will contribute significantly to the public’s understanding of the government’s operations and activities. This information is being sought for news gathering purposes and not for commercial use. If fees are going to be charged, provide a detailed receipt explaining the purpose of each fee charged.
The Massachusetts Public Records Act requires a response to this request within 10 days. If some of this material will take longer to provide than other portions, please provide that information as soon as it is available. If access to the records I am requesting will take longer than this amount of time, please contact me with information about when I might expect copies or the ability to inspect the requested records.
If any portion of this request is unclear, please call or email me at the telephone number or email address listed below.
If you deny this request, or any part of it, please cite each specific exemption you feel justifies the refusal to release the information and notify me of the appeal procedures available to me under the law.
Thank you in advance for your time and for considering my request.
