NEW YORK — Will Edward Caban resign as New York City’s police commissioner?
There are many questions and few answers about Caban’s future with the NYPD amid a federal corruption investigation that also involves his twin brother.
Caban’s cellphones were confiscated in a federal raid on top officials in Mayor Eric Adams’ administration last week.
Mayor won’t guarantee Caban’s future with NYPD
Four sources insisted to CBS News New York’s Marcia Kramer that Caban will resign in the coming days, but the commissioner, himself, told us Monday afternoon those are “false rumors.”
Adams, however, was unwilling to guarantee how much longer Caban will run the nation’s largest police department. When asked if he still has faith in Caban and if he will be the city’s top cop in two months, the mayor said, “I don’t think anything in life is guaranteed.”
“When I chose Eddie, I chose him for his experience and what he brought after 30-something years of service. So you know, rumors are always out there, Marcia. You can never keep up with the rumors that you hear. There was nothing that came from me that fed those rumors at all,” Adams added. “There’s no joy waking up and seeing any negative comments made about you in writing or anywhere.”
