Police Commissioner Edward Caban was sworn in this week as New York City's 46th police commissioner. He made history, becoming the first Hispanic man to lead the NYPD. Wednesday, he spoke with MKramerTV.
Wednesday, he spoke with CBS New York political reporter Marcia Kramer about the challenges running the largest police department on the planet.He's humble, he started out as a beat cop in the Bronx, and when it came time to set up an interview, he called Kramer himself.
"My first day started 32 years ago when I first became a cop because I think whether you're the police commissioner or whether you're a cop on the street, it's the same mission. You want to help people. You want to reduce crime. You want to make people feel better, feel safe. That's always been my mission," Caban said.
"How do you deal with that perception that people think that police are just going to shoot you?" Kramer said.
