Mayor Adams stands by Edward Caban after NYPD commissioner’s home was raided by feds

Mayor Eric Adams made it clear Friday that he’s standing by Edward Caban — even as local politicians have called for the NYPD commissioner’s ouster since his home was raided by federal authorities earlier this week.

In his first sit-down interview since the raid, Hizzoner told PIX 11 he still had faith and confidence in Cabans’ ability to lead the largest police department in the country.

“Commissioner Caban can continue to do his job,” Adams said while lauding his handpicked top cop for driving “down crime” during his tenure.

“Yes I do,” Adams affirmed when asked if he has full confidence in the police commissioner.

Phil and David Banks’ brother, Terence Banks, a former MTA official who has turned to consulting work, was also targeted in the actions, sources said.

A total of eight aides serving Mayor Adams have now been subject to federal raids.
