To Whom It May Concern:

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

Any contract, memorandum of understanding (MOU), user agreement, membership agreement or other document outlining the rights, responsibilities, privileges and terms of service concluded with the following companies/services since 2000:

Vigilant Solutions
Vigilant Video
National Vehicle Location Service (NVLS)

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,

Shawn Musgrave

Hello,

I've just reviewed this response and must admit I'm confused once again by your determination that you have no records.

Unless NVLS is lying on its registration website, BPD is one of the agencies that subscribes to this service:

http://nvls-lpr.com/nvls/registration.aspx

Please confirm that BPD has no agreement with NVLS to outline the terms of your subscription or other arrangement for services with NVLS.

Thank you,
Shawn
