Just quiet down. Good morning. Welcome to today's New York City Council vote on the Committee of Public Safety. At this time, please no one pro todayus. Please sign all electronic devices. Chair, you may begin. Thank you. Good morning. I'm Councilmember Oswald Felice, Chair of the Committee on Public Safety. I am joined today by committee members. Uh Nurse, Gutierrez, Hanks, Banks, Wong, and also uh Pirina Sanchez. Thank you for joining. Today the committee will vote on proposed introduction number 935A, sponsored by myself, Councilmember Oswald Felice. This bill would require the NYPD to report quarterly on confirmed shots fired incidents in our city. Currently, NYPD provides data on it on the issue of gun violence, data related to shooting victims and shooting incidents. But the the shooting incidents data does not capture data related to shooting incidents when no one is struck. The report would require that the NYPD produce and provide information regarding the total number of shots fired incidents as well as the borough, the precinct, the approximate date, time, and location of each incident. This legislation will provide the council and the public with greater information about gun violence in the city of New York by providing information related to shots fired incidents that are currently not captured in existing shooting incident statistics because no one is shot. By establishing a quarterly reporting requirement, this bill would provide a clearer picture of when and where shots fired incidents occur in our city. Thank you I would like to now yield uh the microphone to the clerk for a vote. We've also been joined by uh Councilmember Hankerson. Thank you.
