New York City Police Commissioner Edward Caban has resigned days after federal agents raided his home, his brother’s and other city officials and seized their electronic devices, Fox News reported.
Caban’s resignation comes a few days after he led the annual Pre-High Holiday security briefing for the Jewish community at NYPD Headquarters.
In a resignation letter, Caban wrote that rank and file officers deserved leadership without distractions.
“I have therefore decided it is in the best interest of the Department that I resign as Commissioner,” he told Fox News Digital in a statement through his attorneys. “After 30 years of service to this city, I hold immense respect and gratitude for its brave officers, and must put their interests before my own. I believe firmly in the vital role of leaders with integrity, who, by example, demonstrate the difference between right and wrong every day. I will continue to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation.”
New York City Mayor Eric Adams said during an early afternoon news briefing that he had accepted Caban’s resignation, which came about 14 months after his predecessor also resigned from the department.
“This is the best decision at this time,” Adams said. “I respect his decision and I wish him well.”
