City renames Coney
corner in honor of
fallen police offi cer
BY CHANDLER KIDD
This Coney Island corner will always
have a cop.
Friends and family of slain Police
Offi cer Leon Fox gathered at W.
12th Street and Surf Avenue — where
the patrolman was shot and killed escorting
a theater manager to deposit
receipts at a local bank in 1941 — for
a street co-naming ceremony in his
honor on July 15.
“Police Offi cer Leon Fox was beloved
by his colleagues and known to
be a good man and a good cop, who left
a signifi cant, positive impact on his
fellow Southern Brooklynites. That
legacy of commitment and devotion to
New York City will never be forgotten
– and that street sign will make sure of
it,” said Councilman Chaim Deutsch,
who championed the memorial for
Fox.
The memorial comes 78 years after
Fox’s murder, and honors the fallen
lawman with a sign reading “Police
Offi cer Leon Fox Way.”
Offi cer Albert Mammon of the
60th Precinct — which covers Coney
Island, Sea Gate, and parts of Brighton
Beach — contacted Councilman
Chaim Deutsch to suggest renaming
the corner in Fox’s honor, according to
the legislator.
Monday’s ceremony was attended
by hundreds of community members
and city offi cials, including First Deputy
Commissioner Benjamin Tucker,
Deputy Commissioner Robert Ganley,
Chief of Patrol Rodney Harrison, and
Deutsch. Fox’s only son Gerald Fox,
85, fl ew from California to attend the
ceremony. Gerald Fox was 6 years old
when his father passed in the line of
duty.
The new street sign dedicated to Offi cer Leon Fox. Steve Solomonson
