Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, §10, I hereby request the following records:

Davis produced on or between Oct. 31, 2009 and Oct. 31, 2013 that include, in either their body or their subject line, one or more of the following terms: "Shooter Detection Systems," "SDS," "Milcom," "Mil-Com," "LJC," "Cognika," "Christian Connors," "Chris Connors," "Dan Marshall," or "Stacie Hamner."

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by the recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records.

I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.

To Whom It May Concern:

I'm writing to appeal the Boston Police Department's constructive denial of my request for records under the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, §10.

On April 9, 2015, I requested the following records from the Boston Police Department (BPD):

"Any and all processing notes, emails, or internal correspondence related to my Feb. 10, 2015 Public Records Law request for emails to or from former Boston Police Department Commissioner Edward F. Davis."

This request referenced a separate request I made to BPD on Feb. 10, 2015, for any and all emails to or from former Boston Police Department Commissioner Edward F. Davis produced on or between Oct. 31, 2009 and Oct. 31, 2013 that include, in either their body or their subject line, one or more of the following terms: "Shooter Detection Systems," "SDS," "Milcom," "Mil-Com," "LJC," "Cognika," "Christian Connors," "Chris Connors," "Dan Marshall," or "Stacie Hamner."

To date, BPD has not acknowledged receipt of my April 9, 2015, request, despite four follow-up emails. I consider BPD's inaction a constructive denial of my request for records under the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, §10, and I appeal this adverse determination in its entirety.

Please note that I am writing to appeal BPD's constructive denial of my April 9, 2015, request; I am *not* writing to appeal any action or inaction on my Feb. 10, 2015, request.

Thank you for your time and attention in this matter.

Sincerely,
Joshua Eaton
