What the cop ratio out there, Epiphany? Retired cops move out there?
Honestly, do not know. I know of NYPD who have moved out of NYC, and become LI LE.
I think you would have some NYPD who do live on the Island. Not sure that you would have LI Law Enforcement that would live in NYC. On second thought, unsure about Queens---However, I don't know if one of the requirements to be on LI LE is to be a LI resident.
IMO, this SK is familiar with both Manhattan and that area of LI.
