What it does
This bill would require the New York City Police Department (NYPD) to post on its website data related to all criminal complaints and arrests recorded by the Department since 2007. The dataset would include, among other fields: (i) the location, date, time, and nature of the offense; (ii) demographic information for victims, suspects, and arrestees; and (iii) information on whether a complaint resulted in an arrest or departmental resolution, and the date of such resolution. Further, the data would be stored permanently, in a machine-readable format, and be updated on a biannual basis.
