New York City Police Commissioner Edward Caban resigned Thursday, one week after it emerged that his phone was seized as part of a federal investigation that touched several members of Mayor Eric Adams바카라 게임 웹사이트� inner circle.Caban said he made the decision to resign after the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�news around recent developments바카라 게임 웹사이트� had 바카라 게임 웹사이트�created a distraction for our department,바카라 게임 웹사이트� according to an email to the police department obtained by The Associated Press.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I am unwilling to let my attention be on anything other than our important work, or the safety of the men and women of the NYPD,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he added.At a news conference Thursday, Adams said he had named Tom Donlon, a retired FBI official, as the interim police commissioner. Donlon previously served as the chief of the FBI바카라 게임 웹사이트�s National Threat Center and once led the Office of Homeland Security in New York, before starting his own security firm in 2020.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I thank Commissioner Donlon for stepping in during this critical moment,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Adams said.Caban was one of several high-ranking city officials whose electronic devices were seized last week by federal investigators, according to people familiar with the matter. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation.The subject of the investigation, which is being led by U.S. Attorney바카라 게임 웹사이트�s office in Manhattan, remains unclear. It was not immediately clear whether federal authorities were seeking information linked to one investigation or several.Federal authorities are also investigating Caban바카라 게임 웹사이트�s twin brother, James Caban, who runs a nightclub security business, according to a person familiar with the matter. The person could not publicly discuss details of the ongoing investigation and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.Edward Caban, 57, had been in charge of the nation바카라 게임 웹사이트�s largest police department for about 15 months. Of Puerto Rican heritage, he was the first Latino to lead the 179-year-old NYPD.Other officials whose devices were recently seized include First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright; Philip Banks, the deputy mayor for public safety; his brother David Banks, the city바카라 게임 웹사이트�s schools chancellor; and Timothy Pearson, a mayoral adviser and former high-ranking NYPD official.The searches added to a flurry of investigative activity around Adams바카라 게임 웹사이트� administration and his campaign. Adams, a first-term Democrat, was subpoenaed in July, eight months after federal agents seized his cell phones and an iPad while he was leaving an event in Manhattan. Federal authorities haven바카라 게임 웹사이트�t publicly accused him or any officials of any crimes, and Adams has denied any wrongdoing.The investigation that led to Caban바카라 게임 웹사이트�s devices being seized is not believed to be tied to a probe that led federal investigators to seize Adams바카라 게임 웹사이트� devices last November, according to two people familiar with the matter. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.On Tuesday, Adams acknowledged that the sudden increase in federal scrutiny had 바카라 게임 웹사이트�raised a lot of questions and a lot of concerns.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Caban joined the department as a patrol officer in 1991 in the Bronx, where he grew up. His father, retired Detective Juan Caban, had served with Adams, a former police captain, when they were both on the city바카라 게임 웹사이트�s transit police force. Three of Caban바카라 게임 웹사이트�s brothers were also police officers.Caban worked in precincts across the city, rising to sergeant, lieutenant, captain, executive officer, commanding officer, deputy inspector and inspector. He was the department바카라 게임 웹사이트�s first deputy commissioner, second-in-command, before being named commissioner last year.Caban replaced Keechant Sewell, the first woman to lead the force. She resigned 18 months into a tenure clouded by speculation that she was not truly in control of the department after Adams appointed ex-NYPD chief Philip Banks as his deputy mayor of public safety. She is now the senior vice president of security and guest experience for the New York Mets.바카라 게임 웹사이트�There is nothing in the world like public service,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Caban said in an interview with his alma mater, St. John바카라 게임 웹사이트�s University, after his appointment. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�My father taught me that every day on the job is an opportunity to change lives, and in the NYPD we get to do that every single day.바카라 게임 웹사이트�From Jan. 1 to Sept. 1, the department tallied 243 murders, compared with 279 in the same period last year. Burglary, grand larceny and auto thefts were also down. At the same time, there was a 17.8% spike in reported hate crimes, 11.1% jump in rapes and smaller increases in some other categories.Caban was also criticized for his handling of officer discipline.In April, he declined to take any internal department disciplinary action against two involved in the fatal 2019 shooting of a Black man, Kawaski Trawick, inside his Bronx apartment. Caban said the officers 바카라 게임 웹사이트�acted within the law바카라 게임 웹사이트� and that the city바카라 게임 웹사이트�s police watchdog agency waited too long to bring administrative charges.In August, Caban upheld a department administrative trial judge바카라 게임 웹사이트�s recommendation to drop a disciplinary case against Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey, who was accused of ordering officers to void the November 2021 arrest of a retired officer who previously worked for him. The trial judge, Rosemarie Maldonado, said the watchdog agency didn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t have jurisdiction to investigate the case.
