I don't know about NY state but here in CA, a peace officer has authority, or jurisdiction, throughout the state. Yes, that means an LAPD officer can write a ticket or arrest someone in San Francisco. Obviously that doesn't happen but like in your situation, crossing from one city into another or one county into another makes no difference. Peace officer powers are granted by the state and throughout the state.
