New acting NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban brings decades of experience, history of alleged misconduct

Edward Caban, the NYPD’s acting commissioner following the resignation of Keechant Sewell, brings with him three decades of experience on the force — but also a series of misconduct complaints.

Caban, who had been serving as first deputy commissioner, will remain chief on an interim basis until a permanent replacement for Sewell is named, which Mayor Eric Adams said will take place within the new few weeks. Caban could ultimately get the permanent nod, though that’s not a certainty.
