Fundraiser launched to support family of late Fanwood police officer

FANWOOD, N.J. — The Fanwood Police Benevolent Association has launched a fundraiser to support the family of Officer Carlos Gonzalez, who passed away on March 5 after a long battle with lymphoma.

Gonzalez, a dedicated officer for over 11 years, previously served with the Newark Police Department before joining the Fanwood Police Department in 2020. He was known for his professionalism, kindness, and love for the New York Mets.

He is survived by his wife and 3-year-old daughter.

All donations from the fundraiser will go directly to his family as they navigate this difficult time.
