Monday, April 2nd is the first day of the 3rd annual Enough is Enough Campaign. This year the Keynote Speaker will be Anthony DiPonzio.
The 23-year-old officer Rochester Police Officer was shot in the back of the head while investigating complaints of drug activity in a Rochester neighborhood. He underwent brain surgery, but the prognosis for his recovery remains unclear. Police say DiPonzio and two fellow officers had questioned a group of people on the street. As they turned to walk away from the group, shots were fired. It took nearly three years of intensive rehabilitation, but Rochester Police Officer Anthony DiPonzio is back on the job after being shot in the back of the head in January of 2009. Fourteen-year-old Tyquan Rivera was convicted of attempted murder in that shooting.
Opening up for Anthony DiPonzio is Rochester Police Officer Moses Robinson who is a dynamic speaker and an expert in Youth Gang Violence.
