New York City Police Commissioner Edward Caban has resigned following a federal raid on his home. The raid occurred last week and was part of a larger investigation involving several high-ranking city officials.
Federal agents seized Caban’s cell phone and other electronic devices during the raid. This investigation also targeted his twin brother and three other city officials. The exact reasons for the investigation are still unclear, but it has caused significant disruption within the NYPD.
Caban, who became the first Latino to lead the NYPD in July 2023, decided to step down to avoid further distractions for the department. Mayor Eric Adams has appointed Tom Donlon, a retired FBI official, as the interim police commissioner.
This resignation marks a significant change in the leadership of the nation’s largest police department. The investigation is ongoing, and more details are expected to emerge in the coming weeks.
