Where he patrols may not be relevant. Neither are county lines. I suggest you do an extensive search of NY state law regarding peace officer powers. It may well be, and I assume it is, that peace officers in NY state have police powers throughout the state so crossing a city border or county line does not matter.
As an example, a sergeant I know was driving a police car marked with his city's markings in another city about 40 miles away when a car sped past him at a speed that could not be ignored. The driver claimed that the sergeant didn't have jurisdiction because he was not in his city. Guess who got a ticket with "State of California" on the top of it? And he was just going to get a warning....
