Communications

From: Michael Morisy

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, ยง10, I hereby request the following records:

All reports or memos mentioning the H Block Gang in Hyde Park and any associated violence prevention efforts.

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. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

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 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Michael Morisy

RE: Public Records Request - H Block Gang

Dear Mr. Morisy,

The Boston Police Department is in receipt of your request under the Public Records law (M.G.L. c. 66 s. 10) for "all reports or memos mentioning the H Block Gang in Hyde Park and any associated violence prevention efforts." Please be advised that due to the general nature of your request it would be impossible for the Department to perform a comprehensive hand search to identify all reports or memos in its possession that mention the H Block Gang and/or violence prevention efforts. Additionally, reports regarding gang associations, such as Field Interrogation and Observation Form's, are considered intelligence and as such are exempt from disclosure under the Public Records law. See M.G.L. c. 4. s. 7(26)(f). This classification has been upheld on multiple occasions by the Secretary of the Commonwealth. See SPR07/080 and SPR08/085.
