Tom Donlon, a prominent former FBI and counterterrorism official, will serve as the NYPD’s interim commissioner, Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday.

The appointment came after Adams said he accepted the resignation of embattled Commissioner Edward Caban, who stepped down amid a federal probe that saw agents seize electronic devices from his home.

“I’m taking immediate action in appointing Tom Donlon as interim police commissioner,” Adams said in a video address.

“Tom is an experienced law enforcement professional who has worked at the local, state, federal and international levels.”

Donlon, a Bronx native, served as New York’s Director of the Office of Homeland Security, ran the FBI’s National Threat Assessment Center and the FBI-NYPD Joint Terrorism Task Force.

This Caban guy has a Chicom on his staff, just like Comoros and Hochul. Adams does too.

Seeing how many of these illegal aliens have been eating pets, the police commissioner position might be best filled with someone who has experience in primitive cultures and zoology.

Excerpt CNBC.com——Caban, who was appointed to the job in July 2023, became the first Latino to serve as commissioner of the NYPD in its 179-year history. It wasn’t immediately clear when the resignation would take effect.

It means Mayor Eric Adams is looking at his third police commissioner in less than three years. Adams said at an afternoon briefing that he had accepted the resignation and wishes Caban well. He also said his administration, rocked by a series of investigations, remained focus on running the city. He announced Tom Donlon, who has extensive experience in law enforcement at local, state and federal levels of government, as the interim.

Earlier in the week, Adams declined to say whether Caban had been barred from communicating with federal law enforcement agencies, which work in close cooperation with the NYPD.

The development comes days after News 4 reported the Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation division had joined the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York in the inquiry.

At least one phone belonging to Caban was among several the SDNY and IRS seized from multiple NYPD officials, His twin brother, who owns a nightclub security business, also had his phone seized in the corruption investigation. Several sources tell NBC New York federal investigators want to know if James Caban profited from his ties to his powerful brother and the NYPD.

Specifically, the investigation is looking into whether James Caban was paid by bars and clubs in Midtown and Queens to act as a police liaison, and if those clubs were then afforded special treatment by local precincts, the sources said. snip
