'Blue Bloods' Shoots, Literally, In Forest Hills

The police will be out in force in Forest Hills this afternoon and evening, but it won’t be cops from the 112 Precinct. They’re only actors, filming a scene for the CBS television series “Blue Bloods.”

The intersection of Selfridge Street and 68^th Avenue in Forest Hills will be the base of operations for the production, which has brought several lighting trucks and mock-up police vehicles for the shoot.

The series, which stars Tom Selleck, centers around a family of NYPD officers led by Selleck’s patriarch, the police commissioner.

The scene in question will involve prop guns and fake gunfire, according to notices posted around the neighborhood by the production, and there will be many actors dressed in police uniforms.  The shoot is scheduled to be finished at midnight Wednesday evening.

Residents who park in the neighborhood were warned in advance, but anyone who might have had a car towed should call (718) 349-2054, or

Any residents with concerns about the noise or disruption from the shoot can call the above number, as well.
