NY Times: City Hall Seeks Resignation of NYPD Top Cop

By    |   Monday, 09 September 2024 10:16 PM EDT

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is seeking the resignation of New York City Police Commissioner Edward Caban, who is ensnared in a widening federal probe, The New York Times reported Monday night.

Caban is expected to resign his post in the coming days, Politico reported earlier Monday. Caban is under "tremendous pressure" to resign, with the New York Post reporting it's "not a matter of if, but when."

Adams appointed Caban commissioner in July 2023.

Federal agents seized Caban's phone last Thursday as part of a probe that has engulfed Adams administration. The first deputy mayor, schools chancellor, deputy mayor for public safety, and senior adviser to Adams also had their phones seized, according to multiple reports last week. Caban's twin brother, James, also had his phone seized.

Adams was asked Monday if he could guarantee that Caban would be running the police department two months from now.

"I don't think anything in life is guaranteed," he said. "I would say this, when I chose Eddie, I chose him for his experience and what he brought after 30-something years of service."

Politico reported that Caban was scheduled to meet with police brass on Monday.

NBC New York first reported that the investigation centers on the NYPD's nightclub enforcement. The IRS is aiding the investigation along with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. The investigation has zeroed in on James Caban and whether he profited by acting as a liaison between nightclubs and the NYPD, and whether that resulted in special treatment for the bars, NBC New York reported.
