NYPD and city officials are more than a year late with a mandatory gun smuggling report

City councilmembers say the delay will hinder their ability to make decisions on how to prevent gun trafficking.

Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.City councilmembers say a mandatory annual report on how illegal guns are brought into the city is nearly a year overdue — hindering their ability to make decisions on how best to prevent gun trafficking.

The report is also required to include information about how guns are illegally transported into New York City and recommendations for how to prevent firearm trafficking in the future. “By encouraging interagency cooperation and helping law enforcement better understand where guns are coming from, we can stop these guns from getting in the hands of criminals,” he said in a statement. “But first, we need the report.”

The first report was supposed to be submitted about two months later, on Dec. 1, 2022. But that deadline has been pushed back repeatedly, and the report is still not complete.
