Several NYPD insiders told amNewYork Metro Thursday that they were in shock when Police Commissioner Caban resigned and felt that the outgoing top cop was used as a scapegoat for Mayor Eric Adams.Several NYPD insiders confided with amNewYork Metro on Thursday that Edward Caban’s resignation as police commissioner left them stunned and believing that their former boss had become a scapegoat for Mayor Eric Adams.
“You got one who wouldn’t bend and wanted to run the police department as a police commissioner should — but quit because he wouldn’t let her and you might have another one that maybe decided he would bend too much and now somehow found himself in hot water,” one police source said. “They are both great people and I think if they had been commissioners under a different mayor, they would have been fine.
Caban and his brother, James Caban, face a litany of serious misconduct allegations that saw police admitting that his cellphone was confiscated by the feds and accusations his sibling was provided with police protection. Caban faced mounting pressure as he and his brother became embroiled in a nightclub scandal in which James Caban allegedly offered to do favors for owners, such as nixing legal issues such as underage drinking.
“It’s a hit to morale. Sewell left because she couldn’t stand us, you have him leaving in a scandal and this guy nobody knows,” the source stated. “We have to work together and I don’t know if we can trust this guy , we have to work together.”
