Requiring reporting on crime statistics in shelters.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring reporting on crime statistics in shelters

This bill would require the Department of Homeless Services (DHS) to produce to an annual report detailing “critical incidents” occurring in shelters, including assault, sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse or neglect, weapons possession, arson, and theft. The annual report will also detail efforts to upgrade security and any agreements made between DHS and the New York City Police Department or other entities to enhance security.
