Eric Adams names new commissioner for NYPD.
New York City Names Edward Caban as New NYPD Commissioner
New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced on Monday that Edward Caban has been appointed as the new commissioner of the New York Police Department (NYPD). Caban, a dedicated member of the department for over 30 years, has been serving as the interim commissioner since the departure of former Commissioner Keechant Sewell on June 30. Notably, Caban will be the first Hispanic person to hold this esteemed position in the history of the NYPD.
A Leader Committed to Safety and Justice
“Commissioner Caban is truly one of New York’s finest, a leader who understands the importance of both safety and justice,” Adams expressed during a press conference on Monday. “A Bronx native with more than 30 years of experience as one of New York’s finest, Commissioner Caban is the right choice at the right time.”
Mayor Adams highlighted Caban’s impressive legacy and background, as he followed in his father’s footsteps by dedicating his career to the NYPD. Adams also emphasized Caban’s successful collaboration with Sewell as her deputy commissioner, resulting in a significant decrease in crime rates during the first year of Adams’s administration.
“I want to thank Mayor Adams and my fellow New Yorkers for putting your faith and trust in me,” Caban expressed in a statement. ”I am humbled to be on your team and to lead the greatest police department on the globe. The NYPD is the most consequential police department in all of law enforcement. Its storied history is a living legacy of valor, bravery, and sacrifice — of ordinary New Yorkers who did extraordinary things. When a person in need rings the bell, you can always count on NYPD to answer the call.”
Caban’s extensive experience within the NYPD, having served in almost every position, makes him well-suited for the role of commissioner.
Appointment of Tania Kinsella as First Deputy Commissioner
In addition to Caban’s appointment, Mayor Adams also named Tania Kinsella as the first deputy commissioner, succeeding Caban in this position. Kinsella, a dedicated member of the department for over 20 years, is the first woman of color to hold this significant role.
“Aside from being a mother, working as a police officer is the most deeply rewarding job I can imagine, and I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity to do even more for the city I love,” Kinsella expressed. “As the daughter of two immigrants, this is the American dream, and I want to thank Mayor Adams and Commissioner Caban for helping fulfill that dream. I am honored to take on this role and thankful for this opportunity to serve my fellow New Yorkers.”
Kinsella’s parents hail from Guyana and Jamaica, adding to the diversity and richness of the NYPD’s leadership.
