NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) -- Tom Donlon, a former FBI official, will serve as interim NYPD Commissioner after Edward Caban's resignation, Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday.
Donlon once served as the director of New York's Office of Homeland Security and used to run the NYPD's Joint Terrorism Task Force with the FBI, Adams said. Donlon also helped investigate the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
"My goals are clear: continue the historic progress decreasing crime and removing illegal guns from our communities, uphold the highest standards of integrity and transparency, and support our dedicated officers who put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe," Donlon said in a statement.
Donlon, a Bronx native, served as chief of the FBI's National Threat Center, where he managed the FBI's Terrorism Watch List. Donlon also served as Global Director of Corporate Security for Credit Suisse and Blackrock.
"Tom is an experienced law enforcement professional who has worked at the local, state, federal and international levels," Adams said.
Caban resigned Thursday, about a week after federal officials seized phones from Caban and two NYPD lieutenants who worked in the commissioner’s office and on his detail, sources told PIX11 News.
