Type | Tabular |
Description | The Shots Fired dashboard contains information on shooting incidents that did not result in any victim(s) being struck; but occurred in the city of Boston and fall under Boston Police Department jurisdiction. This information may come into the department through a 911 call, a ShotSpotter activation, or an officer on-siting an incident. Shots fired incidents are confirmed when ballistics evidence is recovered, or in the absence of ballistics evidence, there is strong witness or officer corroboration. This information is updated based on analysis conducted by the Boston Regional Intelligence Center under the Boston Police Department Bureau of Intelligence and Analysis. The data is for 2015 forward, with a 7 day rolling delay to allow for analysis and data entry to occur. |
