No, you must be a U.S. citizen to join the NYPD.
The website says precisely, "Candidates must be a United States citizen on or before the day of hire." There are no exceptions to that rule. So, become a U.S. citizen and apply.
Best of luck to you.

uh...no? If you are in the NYPD, there is a good chance that you have a gun. A gun issued by the US Government. I don't think they would want the liability of having an non-citizen using a government issued firearm.

No you have to be a US citizen to posses a hand gun or a rifle and in your case you are not so you can't have one. You kind of need a gun to be an officer of the law. As for the fire department that is a good question. I know in Arizona you have to be a US citizen to work for the government in any fashion.

If you are in the process of getting citizenship, you can probably start the application process also, as long as you have your citizenship by the time you start work.
