New York City Mayor Eric Adams named Edward Caban as the new New York Police Department commissioner on Monday
Caban, who has been with the department for more than 30 years, has been serving as the interim commissioner since former Commissioner Keechant Sewell, who was the first female NYPD commissioner, stepped down from her role on June 30. Caban will be the first Hispanic person ever to hold the NYPD's most senior position.
Adams highlighted Caban's legacy and background, having followed his father's footsteps in working for the department. Adams also emphasized Caban's teamwork with Sewell as her deputy commissioner, claiming the duo had decreased crime in the city by"double digits" during Adams's administration's first year in office.
“I want to thank Mayor Adams and my fellow New Yorkers for putting your faith and trust in me,” Caban said in a statement. “I am humbled to be on your team and to lead the greatest police department on the globe. The NYPD is the most consequential police department in all of law enforcement. Its storied history is a living legacy of valor, bravery, and sacrifice — of ordinary New Yorkers who did extraordinary things.
