PUBLIC ADVOCATE'S STATEMENT ON THE APPOINTMENT OF NYPD COMMISSIONER CABAN

 

"I wish Commissioner Caban much success in his new role – that he can help the NYPD play its role in producing true, lasting, equitable public safety, operating with transparency and accountability. It is significant that the department will now be led by its first-ever Latino commissioner, and I know this appointment will be meaningful for many in the representation it provides and the message it sends, especially to aspirational young people.

"As I have always said, it’s important to see the diversity of New York’s people and communities represented in leadership. It is even more important to ensure that the concerns of those communities are met by leaders. At an important time in the discussion of policing and public safety, including around continued questions of over-policing in Black and Brown communities and increasing stops, I look forward to working with the Commissioner, and remain committed to more equitable efforts that recognize policing is one piece of what is needed to help New Yorkers be and feel safe."
