August 4, 2023

Moves come as Commissioner Caban Fashions an NYPD Leadership Team for the 21st Century

Police Commissioner Edward A. Caban today announced he has accepted resignations from several senior executives in the New York City Police Department.

The moves represent one facet of the Commissioner’s ongoing work to assemble the strongest team of executives possible to lead the department into the future.

While the Commissioner did not immediately name the departing members, he thanked each of them individually for their long years of public service, unwavering integrity, and steadfast commitment to the NYPD’s public safety mission.

“We owe them our deepest thanks,” said Commissioner Caban.

Since his appointment on July 17 by Mayor Eric Adams, Commissioner Caban, the 46th Police Commissioner of the City of New York, has been building a cohesive group of talented leaders poised to continue the NYPD’s forward momentum as a worldwide leader in the policing profession.

In a pivotal moment for the department and the city, the commissioner, working alongside First Deputy Commissioner Tania Kinsella and Chief of Department Jeffrey B. Maddrey, has already appointed several executives to key positions. This work will continue in the coming days.

In a message sent Friday to all members of the department, Commissioner Caban said he was placing the right people into the right spots to do the right job for the people of New York City.

“I ask you to embrace these changes as we step into a future that is as bright as it is promising,” he said. “I ask you to join me as we salute our departing colleagues, as they exit our privileged arena of public service with their heads held high. And I ask you to welcome the leadership team taking shape before us and to be fully confident in knowing we will all be better for the creative, dynamic, and forward looking individuals at the top.”
