New York City Police Commissioner Edward Caban has resigned. He made the announcement Thursday, just over a week after his phone was seized as part of a federal investigation.

New York Police Department Commissioner Edward Caban is stepping down Thursday, multiple sources with knowledge of the decision tell CNN, marking the first high-profile departure from Mayor Eric Adams’ administration since the start of four separate federal investigations into his office and the NYPD.

The controversy surrounding New York City Mayor Eric Adams' administration continues after the termination of a staffer accused of trying to extort money from a bar owner.
