The nation’s largest police department officially has a new leader.
Edward Caban was announced as the NYPD’s first Hispanic police commissioner Monday morning to a roaring crowd gathered at the precinct where he started his career three decades ago.
“This is going to be one of the most significant and emotional moments for me,” Mayor Eric Adams said from The Bronx’s 40th precinct of promoting Caban, who comes from a blue-collar background.
“I think about what this moment means living out the promise that I made when running for office,” Adam said, highlighting his efforts to promote diversity in his administration.
The appointment came more than a month after ex-Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell — the first woman appointed to the top post in New York City history — suddenly resigned after a year and a half.
