Hanson Invest

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 and all reports detailing the investigation, conducted by Alfred Donovan of APD Management in 2012 into the Hanson Police Department.

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 there are fees, 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,

Brendan Kinsley

Town Administrator Michael McCue:

I would like to modify my request to the following.

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

Any and all reports that were released by the Town of Hanson to the local newspaper The Patriot Ledger. Specifically, any and all reports released as thoroughly detailed in an article posted on November 17th, 2012 with an article named Ex-Hanson police said to have inflated arrest statistics. In the article there is clear mention that an investigative report by APD Management was obtained by the Patriot Ledger during that week. The Patriot Ledger as well as other news outlets reported on multiple details and specifics that appear to be from such an investigative report. This article is also posted publicly online at the following link:
