NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban Monday took over as the 46th head of the nation’s largest police force.
With passersby looking on, many chanting “Eddie! Eddie!” and waving Puerto Rican flags, a nod to Caban’s heritage, the top cop was sworn in by Mayor Adams outside the Bronx’s 40th Precinct stationhouse in Mott Haven, his first assignment when he joined the NYPD in 1991.
Caban, who was born in the Bronx and attended Cardinal Hayes High School, is the NYPD’s first Latino commissioner.
