In Memory of Sergeant Gonzalez

Ippolito Gonzalez

On May 6, 1995, while conducting a motor vehicle stop on Delsea Drive just a few hundred feet from police headquarters, Sergeant Ippolito “Lee” Gonzalez was fatally shot by one of the passengers. He is survived by his nephew Lou Gonzalez and many other loving family members.

In his memory, we established the Police Unity Tour Team, whose members participate in the annual Police Unity Tour, a bicycle ride from South Jersey to Washington DC to celebrate National Police Week.

We also maintain a memorial outside of police headquarters, and a portrait of Sergeant Gonzalez’s 1107 badge is embedded on the outside wall of the police department so that he will always be remembered.
