would temporarily take charge of the nation’s largest police department.
“Until we name a permanent replacement, Eddie Caban has taken the helm as acting police commissioner,” Mayor Adams said in an afternoon news release. “Until we name a permanent replacement, Eddie Caban has taken the helm as acting police commissioner,” Mayor Adams said.“Commissioner Caban is a consummate professional with over three decades of service in the NYPD. I know the hard-working men and women of our city’s police department have a strong leader in place until a more formal announcement is made in the coming weeks.”
Sewell walked into Mayor Adams’s office in City Hall and resigned in a surprise move on June 12 — a day after The Post reported that she was unhappy because she didn’t have full power as the city’s top cop. NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell was pictured with Deputy Commissioner Edward Caban and Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey during NYPD Promotion Ceremony in Queens.“Commissioner Sewell not only led the NYPD with distinction and honor every day, but she inspired millions of young girls and boys in her role,” Adams wrote.
