NYPD Commissioner resigns amid FBI corruption probe into Democrat Mayor Eric Adams administration

New York City Police Commissioner Edward Caban has resigned amid ongoing FBI probes into Mayor Eric Adams' administration.

In a letter to the police department announcing his resignation, Caban wrote, "My complete focus has always been on the NYPD - the department and people I love and have dedicated over 30 years of service to. However, the news around recent developments has created a distraction for our department, and I am unwilling to let my attention be on anything other than our important work, or the safety of the men and women of the NYPD."

The resignation follows the seizure of Caban's phones and the devices of other senior police leaders by federal investigators last week.
