Dear Public Records Officer,
Under the Massachusetts Public Records Act § 66-10 et seq., I am requesting demographic data showing the race and ethnicity of police officers currently working for this department. Officers on leave of any kind should be included.
I prefer this data be sent to me in a machine-readable format, such as Excel or Word, rather than PDF.
If the department has not collected this data, please note that, as well as any plans the department has to start collecting the data.
If there are any fees for searching or copying these records, please inform me. However, I would also like to request a waiver of all fees in that the disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest. This information is not being sought for commercial purposes and will be used in a piece I’m writing for Gannett newspapers in Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Public Records Act requires a response to this request within 10 days. 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. My email address is jhinkle@wickedlocal.com and my phone number is 774-405-2896.
If you deny any or all of this request, 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 for considering my request.
Sincerely,
Jeannette Hinkle
