[edit] Records about chief still sought

"Three citizens who have complained about the conduct of Police Chief Scott J. Freitas asked selectmen last night what has happened to public records requests they made in connection with their complaints.

Mr. Chauvin, of Northbridge, told selectmen last night that he filed a public records request with the Police Department on Sept. 17, and has received a notice requesting more time, but no records. The state law says that the town has 10 days to respond to a request for public records.

He also asked if the board believed that Chief Freitas had a conflict-of-interest in fulfilling the public records request, since he is the person about whom Mr. Chauvin is complaining. Mr. Chauvin has charged that Chief Freitas improperly complained to state police about his private detective’s license, which led to it being revoked."
