Is there actually a residency requirement? Cause the mid Hudson news has one listed, but it doesn't show up on the YPD website or the application.

Anyone can take the test now but as has been the long standing practice YPD hires its own residence. In the past you could pick up the application and they would tell you don't bother unless you are a resident.

Gotcha, Thanks. I don't know why the article lists a very specific residency requirement if there isn't a requirement, but whatever

My point was that according to the Yonkers PD website and other people on this site, there isn't a residency requirement, so I don't know why that was in the article.
