Caban has served as acting police commissioner since July 1.
THE BRONX --
Caban called himself a true New Yorican - third generation, raised in the Bronx, with roots in Ponce. He and three of his brothers joined the department with their dad's encouragement."My father kept on telling me, 'take those exams, you want to go to the top,'" adds Caban. "The City of New York had over two thousand homicides. About five thousand shootings. We would go to shootings every single day. It was a tough time. And now...we've come a long way. But we still have a lot of work to do for our residents of the City of New York," Caban said.
"Aside from being a mother, working as a police officer is the most deeply rewarding job I can imagine, and I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity to do even more for the city I love," said NYPD First Deputy Commissioner Kinsella.
