A cop who told investigators he was unfairly transferred for arresting a troubled Bronx prosecutor has gotten a favorable transfer closer to home, sources said.

Elliot Zinstein, who was shipped out of the 44th Precinct in the Bronx after arresting Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Troiano, was transferred Monday to the 33rd Precinct in Washington Heights, sources said.

Zinstein believed his original transfer to Brooklyn’s 94th Precinct in January was punishment for not cutting Troiano a break during her Aug. 26 drunken-driving bust, sources said.

After Zinstein made his gripe clear to Internal Affairs investigators, a Personnel Bureau lieutenant told him the NYPD wanted to make amends – and would transfer him to the precinct of his choice to make up for the slight, sources said. Monday’s transfer means Zinstein will be working closer to home, sources said.

Zinstein, an Orthodox Jew, was told the transfer happened because his new patrol area in Greenpoint needed more Jewish cops. He didn’t buy that explanation because the Jewish population is much higher in the neighboring 90th Precinct in Williamsburg, sources said.
