In New York, the NYC Police Department issues press credentials either for 
a year, or for a single event. There's an application process and they 
require photos, a security check, verification from the employer, etc. Most 
surrounding communities accept NYPD credentials. If you're shooting inside 
a venue, like a stadium, the venue may issue credentials on an 
event-by-event basis. Contact the venue's press office.

Do NOT waste your time or money on those "we get you press passes" baloney 
ads, because all you can do with their documents is place them between two 
slices of bread with mayonaisse.
