Mayor Adams faces mounting pressure to force NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban to resign amidst corruption probes, but Deputy Mayor Phil Banks complicates the situation.
Phil Banks has turned the NYPD commissioner role into a figurehead position, making it less attractive for top candidates, which hinders finding a replacement for Caban.
There are serious allegations against Caban and Banks regarding corruption, with investigations into potential contract steering and past scandals that reflect poorly on their leadership.
Despite efforts, crime rates continue to rise, including a 23% increase in murders since 2019, pointing to a need for new leadership to effectively combat crime.
