Edward Caban Named New York’s First Latino Police Commissioner

“As the mayor of the City of New York, I’m proud to appoint Edward Caban to be the next police commissioner of the New York City Police Department.” [cheers] “Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.” “Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I am humbled to be on your team, to have your trust and support and to lead the greatest police department on the globe. Now, it’s not lost on me that today’s announcement is also a first. Given how many great leaders of Hispanic descent have come before me in the N.Y.P.D., to be the first Hispanic police commissioner is an honor of the highest measure.”
