NYC police commissioner has resigned amid nightclub probe, sources say
SUMMARY
New York Police Commissioner Edward Caban resigned amid a federal investigation into the NYPD's nightclub enforcement practices. Caban's phone was seized by federal investigators last week as part of a probe involving his twin brother, James Caban, who owns a nightclub security business. Investigators are examining whether James profited from his connection to Edward and if certain nightclubs received special treatment from NYPD precincts. Edward Caban, who became the NYPD's commissioner in July 2023, cited the need for the department to have leadership solely focused on serving New York City in his resignation email. The investigation into the Caban brothers is part of a broader federal inquiry involving members of Mayor Eric Adams’s administration, some of whom are under scrutiny for potential corruption and links to foreign contributions.
