It was a different kind of Sting operation.

A New Jersey cop channeled The Police’s “Every Breath You Take” when he watched every move his estranged wife made — by slapping a GPS monitor on her car, prosecutors announced.

Hackensack Police Lieutenant Richard Levis, 48, was hit with a summons Jan. 7 after an investigation by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office and the Oakland Police Department revealed the hubby was secretly keeping tabs on his wife.

He is charged with burglary and stalking, and expected to appear in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack on Jan. 23.

Levis was hired by the department in 1996 and has a salary of $168,416, a public records database shows.

He was put on leave but will still collect his salary, according to a Hackensack Police spokeswoman.
