Controversy
Broderick previously lived in Pelham, New York, but moved to an area of the Bronx between Pelham and Pelham Bay Park after he became the New York City Police Commissioner. His wife, Sally Broderick, stated after his death that the family had received criticism after they moved since people accused them of not really living in New York City.[2]
Federal judicial service
Broderick was nominated by President Gerald Ford on August 26, 1976, to a seat on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York vacated by Judge Harold R. Tyler Jr. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on September 23, 1976, and received his commission on October 4, 1976. He assumed senior status on December 1, 1988.[1] His service terminated on March 3, 1995, due to his death of cancer in Needham, Massachusetts.[3]
