Anyone know if it is possible to live in Jersey but work in NYPD? (Like in the movie Copland)

I have heard some officers have an address in NY but live in Jersey are there any other ways?

No I think NYPD officers are restricted to living in either NYC (the 5 boroughs), Nassau, Suffolk, Rockland, Westchester, Putnam, Orange and possibly Ulster County.

Exactly. The situation in Copland was that NYPD Officers were part-timing for the Transit Police and were able to live outside the city under transit rules.

There's no more transit police (absorbed by NYPD), so that workaround is long gone.

Have fun living in NYC on 26K a year! God, NYPD has turned into such a joke.

Kinda but they called it Garfield and Stallone was the Sheriff. Most of the people in the town were NYPD but part-timed as transit officers so they could live in Jersey like EMTFirefighter said.

No, he was the Sheriff of a small town - something that isn't even possible in NY.

They weren't going for the whole "factual" route.

Town sheriff's dont exist anywhere ... unless you count some small hicktown in the middle of nowhere where the sheriff's office is the only LE agency in the county.
