Joint Statement from Speaker Adrienne Adams and Public Safety Committee Chair Yusef Salaam on Resignation of NYPD Commissioner Caban and Appointment of Interim Commissioner

"It is unfortunate our city is in this situation. The NYPD has an important role to play in keeping our city safe and requires steady leadership and trust with the public to succeed. The police commissioner must ensure the department is committed to the safety of all New Yorkers, transparency, and accountability. We look forward to working with Interim Police Commissioner Thomas Donlon and the entire department to advance public safety and ensure the NYPD is responsive to the needs of our communities."
