Mayor Eric Adams and his new top cop, Edward Caban, made another historic appointment on Tuesday, tapping Rebecca Weiner as the Police Department’s first female Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence and Counterterrorism.
The announcement followed a string of top NYPD appointments, including Caban, who on Monday became the city’s first Hispanic police commissioner, and Tania Kinsella, who was tapped to be the first woman of color to hold the role of First Deputy Commissioner.
