With NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban stepping down, what’s next?

Off Topic/On Politics

Under a cloud of questions and a federal probe, Edward Caban resigned as commissioner of the NYPD on Thursday. Caban was tapped by Mayor Eric Adams to be NYPD commissioner in July 2023, replacing Keechant Sewell and was the first Latino to hold the position. The news of Caban’s resignation comes after sources told NY1 last Thursday that federal investigators visited his house and took his phones, and seized electronic devices from several other NYPD executives. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, NY1 criminal justice reporter Dean Meminger and political director Bob Hardt look at Caban’s decision to step down, the federal investigation into the NYPD’s nightclub enforcement practices and Caban’s interim replacement, Tom Donlon, a retired FBI officer.

After that, the “Off Topic” team looks at the many members of the Adams administration currently under investigation and the announcement that state Senator Jessica Ramos will challenge Adams in the 2025 primary.
