Shooting and Firearm Discharges Open Data

This dataset contains all shooting-related occurrences reported to the Toronto Police Service since 2004, including, but not limited to, those that may have been deemed unfounded after investigation. Shootings & Firearm Discharges Dashboard Download Documentation Shooting incidents in this dataset include both firearm discharges and shooting events, which are defined below. In 2014, the Toronto Police Service changed records management systems. For occurrences prior to this date, coordinates are limited, therefore for some events with NULL coordinates the neighbourhood will be identified as ‘NSA’ to indicate ‘Not Specified Area.’ The downloadable datasets display the OCC_DATE fields in UTC timezone. Shooting Event/Occurrence Any incident in which a projectile is discharged from a firearm (as defined under the Criminal Code of Canada) and injures a person. This excludes firearm discharges, suicide, and police involved firearm discharges. Firearm Discharge Any incident where evidence exists that a projectile was discharged from a firearm (as defined under the Criminal Code of Canada) including accidental discharge (non-police), celebratory fire, drive-by etc. Events categorized as firearm discharges do not include any events where a person’s injuries were sustained from a bullet(s). Persons Injured (previously classified as “victims”): A person who was struck by a bullet(s) as a result of the discharge of a firearm (as defined under the Criminal Code of Canada). This excludes events such as suicide, police-involved event or where the weapon used was not a real firearm (such as pellet gun, air pistol, “sim-munition” etc.). Injury Levels – Death Where the injured person (as defined above) has died as a result of injuries sustained from a bullet(s). These events are counted as shootings. Injury Levels – Injuries Where the injured person (as defined above) has non-fatal physical injuries as a result of a bullet(s). These events are counted as shootings. The dataset is intended to provide communities with information regarding public safety and awareness. The data supplied to the Toronto Police Service by the reporting parties is preliminary and may not have been fully verified at the time of publishing the dataset. The location of crime occurrences have been deliberately offset to the nearest road intersection node to protect the privacy of parties involved in the occurrence. All location data must be considered as an approximate location of the occurrence and users are advised not to interpret any of these locations as related to a specific address or individual. NOTE: Due to the offset of occurrence location, the numbers by Division and Neighbourhood may not reflect the exact count of occurrences reported within these geographies. Therefore, the Toronto Police Service does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness of the data and it should not be compared to any other source of crime data. By accessing these datasets, the user agrees to full acknowledgement of the Open Government Licence - Ontario. In accordance with the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the Toronto Police Service has taken the necessary measures to protect the privacy of individuals involved in the reported occurrences. No personal information related to any of the parties involved in the occurrence will be released as open data.本数据集收录了2004年以来向多伦多警察局（Toronto Police Service）上报的所有与枪击相关的事件，包括但不限于经调查后被认定为不实的事件。「枪击与枪械发射事件」仪表盘下载说明文档：本数据集涵盖的枪击相关事件包含枪械发射事件与枪击事件两类，具体定义如下。 2014年，多伦多警察局更新了记录管理系统。在此日期之前上报的事件，其坐标信息存在限制，因此部分空坐标的事件，其所属社区将被标记为"NSA（Not Specified Area，未指定区域）"。 所有可下载数据集的OCC_DATE字段均采用协调世界时（UTC）时区显示。 枪击事件/事件（Shooting Event/Occurrence）：指有弹丸从符合《加拿大刑事法典（Criminal Code of Canada）》定义的枪械中发射，并造成人员受伤的事件。此类事件不包含枪械走火、自杀以及警方涉及的枪械发射事件。 枪械发射事件（Firearm Discharge）：指有证据表明弹丸从符合《加拿大刑事法典》定义的枪械中发射的事件，包括（非警方的）意外走火、庆祝性射击、驱车扫射等。被归类为枪械发射事件的条目，不包含任何造成人员被子弹击伤的事件。 受伤人员（原分类为"受害者"）：指因符合《加拿大刑事法典》定义的枪械发射而被子弹击中的人员。此类事件不包含自杀、警方介入事件，或使用非真实枪械（如气枪、空气手枪、"模拟弹药"等）的情况。 伤亡等级——死亡：指上述定义的受伤人员因子弹造成的伤势死亡的事件。此类事件被计入枪击事件统计。 伤亡等级——受伤：指上述定义的受伤人员因子弹造成非致命性身体损伤的事件。此类事件被计入枪击事件统计。 本数据集旨在为社区提供公共安全与公众警示相关信息。 上报方提供给多伦多警察局的数据为初步数据，发布本数据集时可能尚未完成全部核实流程。 犯罪事件的位置已被刻意偏移至最近的道路交叉口节点，以保护事件相关人员的隐私。所有位置数据仅为事件发生的近似位置，请勿将任何此类位置与特定地址或个人相关联。 注：由于事件发生位置经过偏移，各分局与社区的统计数据可能无法准确反映对应地理区域内上报的事件实际数量。因此，多伦多警察局不保证本数据的准确性、完整性与时效性，且不得将其与其他任何犯罪数据源进行对比。 访问本数据集即表示用户完全同意遵守《安大略省开放政府许可（Open Government Licence - Ontario）》。根据《市政信息自由与隐私保护法（Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act）》，多伦多警察局已采取必要措施保护上报事件中涉及的个人隐私。任何与事件相关方的个人信息均不会以开放数据形式发布。
