RE: Access to Public Records Request – Arrest Reports
Dear Mr. Musgrave:
This office is in receipt of your Access to Public Records Act (“APRA”) request received by the City on July 30, 2014 requesting " A copy of the arrest log for the past 24 hours". In response to your request, the Pawtucket Police Department has provided me with the arrest log. Please be advised that after balancing the public and private interests as the APRA requires us to do regarding the specific information contained in any public record, the City has redacted certain personally identifiable information contained in the log such as dates of birth and the names of victims, etc. (see Advisory Opinion 08-01, In Re: Police Department Policies).
As per R.I. Gen. Laws §38-2-8, if you believe that the City has not been responsive to your request, you may contact to or you may appeal to Mayor Donald R. Grebien, 137 Roosevelt Avenue, Pawtucket, RI 02860. You may also file a complaint with the Department of Attorney General, 150 South Main Street, Providence, RI 02903, or the Providence County Superior Court. Additional information concerning the Access to Public Records Act is available through the Attorney General’s website at www.riag.ri.gov.
