New York City Police Department Commissioner Edward Caban was just promoted to the role earlier this week from being the first deputy commissioner. With that new job, he’ll get a raise of just $579.
As first deputy commissioner, Caban had a salary of $242,592, according to online city records. Keechant Sewell, the previous NYPD commissioner, had a salary of $243,171. The NYPD confirmed that Caban’s commissioner salary will be the same as his predecessor’s because it is a set pay base for the position. This base salary does not include bonuses or benefits.
These salaries appear to be consistent with the salaries of previous first deputy commissioners at the NYPD. Benjamin Tucker, the first deputy under former Commissioner Dermot Shea, also has an annual salary of $242,592.
Both the first deputy’s and the commissioner’s salaries are less than New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Philip Banks’ salary, which is $251,982 per year.
