I spoke to Josh Zucker, a sergeant at arms with the New York Police Department’s Shomrim Society, a fraternal organization for Jewish men and women in blue. He has worked for the NYPD since 2015, but stressed that in conversation with the Forward, he was not representing the department. This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity. Molly Boigon: How does your Jewish identity shape your work? Josh Zucker: As Jews, we grow up with a sense of law and order. In my background, I learned Talmud; I learned the bible; I prayed daily. So I definitely get a sense of justice and of law and order from religiosity, from Judaism. It affects the way I police in terms of being evenhanded.
