Chief Terence Delehanty
Winthrop Police Department 
3 Metcalf Square 
Winthrop, MA 02152 
Dear Chief Delehanty: 
I have received the petition of Ryan P. Gilday, Esq. appealing the response of the
Winthrop Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see
also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On September 29, 2021, Attorney Gilday requested records regarding
a motor vehicle accident on June 11, 2020 on an identified street. 
Previous appeal 
This request was the subject of a previous appeal. See SPR21/2899 Determination of the
Supervisor of Records (November 15, 2021). The Department provided a response to this office
and Attorney Gilday on November 16, 2021. Unsatisfied with the Department’s response,
Attorney Gilday petitioned this office and SPR21/3099 was opened as a result. 
Subsequently, the Department provided this office with a supplemental response on
December 2, 2021. Given that this appeal was opened based on the November 16 th response, I
will consider this administrative appeal closed. Attorney Gilday may appeal the substantive
nature of the Department’s December 2 nd response within 90 days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). 
Sincerely, 
Rebecca S. Murray 
Supervisor of Records
