Subject: Public Records Law Request: Gregg A. Bigda

Email

To Whom It May Concern:

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

* All internal affairs records for Gregg A. Bigda

* Gregg A. Bigda's police ID card photo

* All videos showing Gregg A. Bigda's interrogation of suspects in a police cruiser theft which recently led to the officer's suspension

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 calendar days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Andrew Quemere

Greetings,

It is my understanding that the Gregg Bigda video has been provided to other news organizations. Please email me the video (and other records if they are ready) as soon as possible, as I need them for publication. If it does not fit, I would appreciate you posting it on a file-hosting service for me to download. If that is not an option, please send it to me on DVD by mail.

I appreciate your assistance.

Best regards,
Andrew Quemere
