NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell Resigns, Leaving Vacancy.

NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell announced her departure after a year and a half on the job, with sources citing tension that has been brewing for months. First Deputy Commissioner Edward Caban is likely to take over temporarily and is a frontrunner to take the post full time, along with Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey and Deputy Mayor of Public Safety Phil Banks. Mayor Eric Adams had vowed to appoint the NYPD's first female police commissioner, but the immediate frontrunners are all men. Sewell's legacy and leadership have been praised by police organizations and former NYPD officials.
