All filming will take place between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
The production will be filming two separate stunt sequences in Albany, the production company says. The first took place last week; the second will take place from Wednesday to Sunday.
Both stunt sequences will involve car chases, cars weaving in and out of traffic (with the other stunt cars to be driven by precision drivers), car crashes, and simulated gunfire, said Columbia.

On Sunday, Oct. 4, filming will include the use of a helicopter in some of the stunt scenes; a second helicopter will be filming that scene.
Residents and pedestrians in the designated filming areas are being advised that pedestrian traffic will be held intermittently, just before and during the actual filming of the stunt sequences.
The action comedy is about two New York City police detectives who, "after being career desk-jockeys, attempt to fill the shoes of their predecessors -- a pair on 1980s-style 'super-cops,'" according to a press release from the company.
