Mayor Eric Adams appointed global security executive and department outsider Thomas Donlon as New York City’s interim top cop Thursday following NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban’s resignation.
The mayor announced Donlon’s appointment right after revealing that Caban had tendered his resignation during a Thursday afternoon live-streamed address. Caban stepped down after his home was raided and his electronic devices were seized by federal agents last week in connection with a reported corruption investigation into the NYPD’s enforcement of nightlife establishments.
