New York City Police Commissioner Edward Caban resigned Thursday, just a week after it was revealed that federal investigators had seized his phone in an ongoing probe involving members of Mayor Eric Adams’ inner circle. In an email to the police department, Caban stated that the “recent developments” had become a distraction, prompting his decision to step down. “I am unwilling to let my attention be diverted from our important work or the safety of the men and women of the NYPD,” he wrote.
At a Thursday news conference, Mayor Adams announced Tom Donlon, a retired FBI official, as the interim police commissioner. Donlon, who previously served as chief of the FBI’s National Threat Center and led New York’s Office of Homeland Security, launched his own security firm in 2020.
“I thank Commissioner Donlon for stepping in during this critical moment,” Adams said. The investigation, which seized devices from several high-ranking city officials, remains ongoing, with sources requesting anonymity due to the sensitivity of the case.
