NYPD Commissioner Caban resigns amid federal probe: What's next?

COMMUTE THERE. JUST YOUR NORMAL DELAYS. WESTBOUND, EASTBOUND. NO PROBLEMS. AND WITH THE RAILS, EVERYTHING RUNNING ON OR CLOSE TO SHAWNEE. BACK TO YOU, ANEZ. >> THANK YOU. WELL, THE NYPD WILL HAVE A NEW TOP COP BY THE END OF THE DAY. AFTER COMMISSIONER EDWARD CABAN OFFICIALLY GAVE HIS RESIGNATION TO MAYOR ERIC ADAMS, A FORMER FBI OFFICIAL WILL STEP INTO HIS PLACE. >> LET'S GET RIGHT TO GOOD DAY'S MICHELLE ROSS. SHE JOINS US FROM ONE POLICE PLAZA THIS MORNING WITH MORE ON THE INTERIM COMMISSIONER. MICHELLE, GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING. NOW, TOM DONLON, IS THAT FORMER FBI OFFICIAL THAT WILL BE TAKING THE POSITION. AND ALTHOUGH HE HASN'T WORKED IN THE NYPD BEFORE, HE DOES HAVE A LENGTHY RESUME IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, STILL AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, ALL THE WAY TO THE INTERNATIONAL LEVEL. AND HIS APPOINTMENT COMES AS EDWARD CABAN IS BEING INVESTIGATED BY THE FBI. EDWARD CABAN OFFICIALLY STEPS DOWN AS THE CITY'S TOP COP.

I HAVE MADE THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO RESIGN AS POLICE COMMISSIONER. THOSE DISTRACTIONS ALSO INCLUDE FI RAIDS ON A NUMBER OF CITY LEADERS. >> BECAUSE OF THE MAGNITUDE OF THE SITUATION AND THE NUMBER OF INVESTIGATIONS GOING ON RIGHT NOW WITHIN THE ADMINISTRATION, THE DISTRACTIONS ARE STILL GOING TO BE THERE, TEMPORARILY FILLING THE POSITION IS PROMINENT FORMER FBI OFFICIAL TOM DONLON. >> DONLON HAS NOT WORKED FOR THE NYPD, BUT THE BRONX NATIVE HAS AN EXTENSIVE SECURITY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT BACKGROUND, INCLUDING INVESTIGATING THE 1993 TWIN TOWERS BOMBING. >> TOM IS AN EXPERIENCED LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONAL WHO HAS WORKED AT THE LOCAL, STATE, FEDERAL, AND INTERNATIONAL LEVELS. >> AND ALTHOUGH NO CHARGES HAVE BEEN FILED IN ANY OF THOSE FBI INVESTIGATIONS, EDWARD CABAN SAYS THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISTRACTION TO THE DEPARTMENT HAD HE STAYED. HIS RESIGNATION OFFICIALLY TAKES EFFECT AT THE END OF THE DAY. TODAY AND THAT IS WHEN DONLON WILL T
