§ 27-13. Considerations for certification.

To determine whether to certify an area as a "prostitution-free zone", the Police Commissioner shall consider the following:

(1) arrests or other statistical criteria for reporting crime which are accepted and relied upon by law enforcement agencies and which indicate a disproportionately high occurrence of prostitution in the proposed prostitution-free zone;

(2) reliable, objective, and verifiable information which indicates that prostitution is occurring in the proposed prostitution-free zone; and

(3) any other verifiable information acceptable by law enforcement agencies that indicates to the Police Commissioner that the health or safety of the residents that live in or near the proposed prostitution-free zone is endangered by the activity of prostitution.
