Commissioner Edward Caban's departure reignited concerns that sprawling federal investigations have become an unavoidable distraction for City Hall.
NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban’s resignation on Thursday raised fresh questions about Mayor Eric Adams’ ability to manage a growing crisis of confidence in his administration and why other top officials implicated in investigations have not been pressured to resign.of the city’s first Latino police commissioner came less than a week after reports surfaced that a cascade of top officials, including Caban, had phones seized by federal investigators.
“This resignation is a correct decision, from an array of options at a moment I wish we weren’t in – one when New Yorkers have little trust in the administration, and little information from the mayor to help restore it,” said Jumaane Williams, the city’s public advocate who has become increasingly critical of the mayor, in a statement.
“But unless this is accompanied by a series of real management reforms and public integrity safeguards — at NYPD and at City Hall — one personnel change alone will not solve the ongoing concerns of New Yorkers,” he added.“We don’t just need a new commissioner. We need a new mayor. We need new priorities,” said Queens Councilmember Tiffany Cabán in a statement.
