NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban has resigned, effective 5 p.m. Friday, Mayor Eric Adams announced.

Caban’s decision follows reports of federal investigators seizing electronic devices from his home and other NYPD executives, though his lawyers state he is not a target of the investigation.

In his resignation letter, Caban cited recent developments as a distraction to the department.

Tom Donlon, a former FBI official, will serve as interim commissioner, NY1 has reported.

Caban, the first Latino NYPD commissioner, served since July 2023 and oversaw significant crime reductions, including the removal of over 18,000 illegal guns during his tenure.
