Thomas Gibbons (police officer)

Thomas J. Gibbons (1904–1988), was the Philadelphia Police Department Commissioner appointed by Mayor Joseph S. Clark Jr. in 1952 and retired in 1960. He was described as "incorruptible" and a "lone wolf" for his intense efforts against La Cosa Nostra, specifically Angelo Bruno, and the corrupt police officers who supported it.
