NYC police commissioner under fed probes to resign today

New York Police Commissioner Edward Caban is expected to resign Thursday amid a federal investigation into the department's nightclub enforcement, according to five sources familiar with the matter. Caban, the city's first Latino police commissioner, had been leading the department since July 2023. He was tapped for the job by Mayor Eric Adams, whose administration is the target of multiple federal investigations. Spokespersons for Adams and the NYPD did not respond to requests for comment. Caban's phone was seized last week around the same time that FBI agents raided the homes of top Adams administration officials as part of a separate probe. Those whose homes were searched included First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Philip Banks III.

In the past year, FBI agents have searched the homes of other city officials and advisers close to Adams as part of an investigation that is believed to be focused on whether the Adams campaign conspired with the Turkish government to receive illegal campaign contributions from foreign sources, funneled through straw donors.
