Beginning with the calendar quarter starting on January 1, 2019, the commissioner shall submit to the speaker of the council and the department of health and mental hygiene, within 25 days of the end of each quarter and post to the department’s website five days thereafter, a report relating to opioid antagonists, which shall include:

2. The number of officers trained in the department to administer opioid antagonists to overdose victims, disaggregated by patrol borough; and
