NYPD Comissioner To Resign Following Federal Probe: Report

NEW YORK CITY — NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban is set to resign Thursday amid a federal investigation into alleged corruption.

Caban held the position for over a year. Politico was the first outlet to report the new development.

Caban's home was one of those raided by federal authorities on Sept. 4 along with other Adams officials, Patch previously reported.

The commissioner's phone was seized in the raid, as federal authorities investigate possible corruption, according to the report.

Caban’s twin brother, James Caban, is also being eyed by authorities.

Most notable, the former police commissioner was not present at Wednesday's Sept. 11 ceremony in Lower Manhattan, amid calls for his resignation.

Mayor Eric Adams denied there were any calls for a resignation at a Tuesday press conference.

In an internal memo obtained by the New York Post, Caban wrote:

“The news around recent developments has created a distraction for our department, and I am unwilling to let my attention be on anything other than our important work, or the safety of the men and women of the NYPD."

"...Which is why – for the good of this city and this department – I have made the difficult decision to resign as Police Commissioner."

It is not immediately known who replace will Caban as police commissioner.
