§  221-b  Reporting to New York state violent crimes analysis program.
  1.  Every law enforcement agency which receives a report of an actual or
  attempted abduction or molestation  shall  notify  the  New  York  state
  violent  crimes  analysis  program, via the requirements of the New York
  statewide police information network, of such report. Such program shall
  make comparisons of data in its files, and report to the law enforcement
  agency making an initial  report,  any  similarities  to  other  reports
  received by such program. The violent crimes analysis program shall also
  notify the unit of a law enforcement agency which investigates homicides
  when  a  report  reveals  similarities, patterns or modus operandi which
  appear in reports of homicides.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the  contrary,  every
  law  enforcement  agency that accepts responsibility for investigating a
  homicide or attempted homicide,  the  discovery  of  unidentified  human
  remains,  a  reported missing person case where circumstances indicate a
  strong possibility of foul play, or a sexual assault or attempted sexual
  assault, shall make a written report of such investigation  to  the  New
  York state violent crimes analysis program. Such program shall conduct a
  computerized   commonality  analysis  and  provide  the  submitting  law
  enforcement agency the results of such analysis.  Every  written  report
  made to the violent crimes analysis program shall be in form and content
  as  determined  and prescribed by such program, upon the approval of the
  superintendent of state police. An initial written report shall be  made
  to   the   violent   crimes  analysis  program  within  thirty  days  of
  commencement  of  an  investigation.  The  results  of  a   computerized
  commonality analysis shall be provided by such program to the submitting
  law  enforcement  agency  upon  completion  of such analysis in a timely
  manner, as prescribed by the superintendent of state police.
