Dangerous Weapons police reports in New York City

Dangerous Weapons × New York City is one NYPD join

The join keeps primary type Dangerous Weapons and city New York City. 6,557 is the only integer this packet publishes. Dangerous Weapons is the NYPD complaint label as published. It is not a recode of Chicago Weapons Violation and not Felony Assault. Cross-city weapons totals would invent a crosswalk this packet does not contain. Source: municipal open-data police reports on NYC Open Data, using NYPD complaint / Penal Law labels.

This page is not a shooting dashboard, a trace-log census, or a conviction docket. Related published types on the same feed include Felony Assault, Robbery, and Sex Crimes. Those strings are other hubs. Adding them to 6,557 would invent a combined total the packet does not contain. Dangerous Weapons in New York City is the live overlay for this pair.

How NYPD stores Dangerous Weapons complaints

New York City publishes this feed through NYC Open Data. New York Police Department assigned the type; LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges. The five boroughs are unpublished splits on this packet, so no borough-and-precinct subtotal is quoted. New York City crime hub places this type beside other New York City labels without merging them.

A pin on the overlay is a report location, usually a coarse block range, not a named household and not proof that a court later used the same statute. Arrest flags, when present on the source row, are not convictions. Possession versus use splits are unpublished. Do not invent those subtotals. Do not rename this class Weapons Violation.

A weapons complaint class, not a shooting dashboard

Dangerous Weapons is the NYPD complaint label as published. It is not a recode of Chicago Weapons Violation and not Felony Assault. Cross-city weapons totals would invent a crosswalk this packet does not contain. Possession versus use splits are unpublished. Do not invent those subtotals. Do not rename this class Weapons Violation. Cite 6,557 only as Dangerous Weapons in New York City. Dangerous Weapons across cities shows the same type slug in other cities that publish a matching string; coding still follows each agency’s file, so those tables are not a standardized national series.

Why dangerous-weapons rows are not a borough ranking

6,557 Dangerous Weapons reports in New York City is a file statistic. It is not a rate, not a household risk score, and not a ranking of New York City. Population, housing stock, tourist volume, and how often people call the police all move raw counts without appearing in this packet. Correlation between city and count is not causation.

A later news total that drops attempts, folds a sibling type into Dangerous Weapons, or uses a different harvest window will not match 6,557. Unfounded reports can remain on NYC Open Data until the source file updates. If a charging document later uses a different statute, the public incident row may not change.
