Council Member Linda Lee inquires about how data is collected and shared for the Co-Response Teams (CRTs) program. The discussion reveals the data management practices between DOHMH and NYPD.

  • Both DOHMH and NYPD maintain their own databases for CRT data
  • The information is synchronized between the two departments
  • Data consistency is expected between NYPD and DOHMH for incident reporting
Linda Lee
1:04:36
I see.
1:04:37
Okay.
1:04:37
And then how is the data collected for this program?
Jean Wright
1:04:48
So the individuals that are partnering together, they keep records of what they're doing, what they're saying, they make sure that that information is uploaded to a database that we're able to access, and so I could get those numbers for you after the Okay.
Linda Lee
1:05:04
And is that housed with NYPD or DOHMH?
Jean Wright
1:05:08
NYPD, I believe, but I can make sure I can clarify that.
Linda Lee
1:05:11
Okay.
1:05:11
If you could clarify that and then also find out because I would hope you guys have easy access to that information too.
Jean Wright
1:05:19
Yeah.
1:05:20
Jamie just corrected me.
1:05:20
We have our own and they have theirs as well, we synchronize that information.
Linda Lee
1:05:25
Okay.
1:05:26
So synchronize.
1:05:26
So in other words, if there's an incident that happens, it should be consistent in terms of the data that's between NYPD and DOHMH?
Jean Wright
1:05:33
Correct.
1:05:34
That's that's the goal.
1:05:35
One of the challenges that you have in those kind of programs is how one counts an incident or a connection.
1:05:42
So that is what we are working on together.
Linda Lee
1:05:44
Okay.
