Thursday, August 13, 2026, 10 a.m. (New York City time), 250 Broadway - 8th Floor - Hearing Room 3
Committee: Committee on Public Safety
The Committee on Public Safety, chaired by Council Member Oswald Feliz, voted on Proposed Introduction 905-A, sponsored by the chair, which would require the NYPD to report quarterly on confirmed shots fired incidents. Feliz explained that existing shooting incident data does not capture incidents where no one is struck, and the bill would add reporting on the total number of shots fired incidents, including the precinct and the approximate date, time, and location of each incident. The committee approved the item by a voice vote of eight in the affirmative, zero in the negative, with no abstentions.

0:48 member Oswald felice this bill
0:50 would require the nypd t

0:54 shots fired incidents in our
0:56 City currently an nypd
0:57 provides data on it on the
0:58 issue of gun violence data
1:00 related to shooting victims
1:03 and shooting incidents but the
1:05 shooting incidents data does
1:06 not capture data related to
1:08 shooting incidents when no one
1:11 is struck the report would
1:12 require that the nypd produce

1:19 shots fired incidents as well
1:20 as the berle the precinct the
1:23 approximate date time and
1:24 location of each incident this
1:27 legislation will provide the

1:30 greater information about gun
1:31 violence in the City of New
1:33 York by providing information
1:34 related to shots fired
1:36 incidents that are currently
1:38 not captured in existing
1:40 shooting incidents statistics
1:41 because no one is shot by
1:43 establishing a quarterly
1:45 reporting requirement this
1:45 bill would provide a clearer
1:48 picture of when and where
1:49 shots fired incident to occur
1:50 in our City I believe this

1:54 transparency around gun
1:55 violence in our communities
