NYPD watchdogs and elected officials have denounced former Police Commissioner Edward Caban’s final act as head of the department: Tweaking the agency’s “disciplinary matrix” for officers accused of misconduct.
According to a report by The City, Caban — who resigned on Sept. 12 amid a federal investigation into allegations of abuse of power and misconduct involving his twin brother, James — altered the matrix just three days before he handed in his resignation on Thursday. This appeared to be an apparent effort to weaken penalties for cops who commit violations on or off the job.
