Veteran NYPD officer Edward Caban becomes first Latino commissioner

Mayor Eric Adams appointed Edward Caban as the new NYPD commissioner, making him the first Hispanic to hold the position.
Caban is a 30-year veteran who started as a patrol officer in the Bronx and worked his way up through the ranks.
He had been serving as acting commissioner after Keechant Sewell, the first woman commissioner, resigned.
Caban's appointment is seen as an effort to increase diversity in the NYPD leadership.
He will be tasked with addressing ongoing challenges around crime, policing, and community relations in New York City.
