Reflections for Trooper Scott M. Gonzalez
I will never forget this tragic event that touched all of us who work in Northampton and Lehigh Counties just across Route 22 & I-78. We stand with our brother Troopers across the state line. We share the pain. We will never forget. God bless Trooper Gonzalez and his family.

Ever since I was a little boy I always wanted to be a New Jersey State Trooper. And as my time grows closer to becoming one I realize why I've always wanted to. Because I want to be the man that you were. Dedicated to making a difference in peoples life and not afraid of putting yourself in harms way to save others. God bless you. You are a real New Jersey State Trooper.

I can remember being a young man aspiring to be a New Jersey Trooper. Having heard of your death and the circumstances, I saw what heroism was. Now I go down the same path but in a different state. Please watch over the rest of us and god bless you brother.
