Data request · Citizen request

I would like to get data on drug arrests in NYC over the course of a year in order to be able to map out the locations/frequency etc. Where are the most drug arrests occurring in our community (Harlem/East Harlem) and how do they compare to other neighborhoods in the city.

Hi , The data you've requested can be found here: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/NYPD-Arrests-Data-Historic-/8h9b-rp9u (Historical) and here: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/NYPD-Arrest-Data-Year-to-Date-/uip8-fykc (Year to Date) The best place to refer to the respective penal code for each arrest is here: http://ypdcrime.com/penal.law/ This is the reference section specifically listing drug offenses penal codes http://ypdcrime.com/penal.law/penal_law_title_m.htm You can filter in either dataset by using the LAW_CODE column and choosing 'contains' and adding in the particular penal codes you would like to focus on. Thank you, - NYC Open Data Team
