0:50 would require the nypd t

0:52 oreport quarterly on confirmed

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

1:12 require that the nypd produce

1:16 regarding the total number of

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

1:28 council and the public with

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

1:53 legislation will strengthen

1:54 transparency around gun

1:55 violence in our communities
