WATCH LIVE: NYC Mayor Eric Adams to name Edward Caban as the next NYPD commissioner, sources say; Caban would be the first Hispanic person to be appointed to the post
In a historic announcement, Edward Caban was named the next NYPD commissioner on Monday, making him the first Hispanic person to lead the nation's largest police department.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams made the announcement outside the 40th precinct stationhouse in the Bronx — the same South Bronx area where Caban started his career in uniform in the early 1990s. Caban has some experience in the role: He's been serving as acting commissioner since July 1 following former commissioner Keechant Sewell's resignation in June. She stepped down after serving as the first Black woman to lead the department for 18 months.
Raised in the Bronx, Caban has strong family ties in the south of Puerto Rico in the town of Ponce. He has more than three decades of service with the NYPD and three of his brothers have also joined the police ranks. Caban was promoted to sergeant back in 1994 before eventually becoming an inspector.He now appears to have the full support of the mayor for the position.
