Know Your
Policemen...

^Ke?Tiivin^r?*row^thr
size of Pembroke we almost
always ask ourselves two
questions about our police
department: first, what are
our police officer's responsi
bility for the law enforcement
And secondly, do they have
any academic qualifications? I
talked to the Pembroke Police
Chief, Kirby Aatmoos, and
fa* so rest those two qu**
imh of credibility sard quali
fications.
Kirby Aromons, 40, of
Lumberton has been the
police chief of Pembroke since
July 1,1982. He is married to
Ellen L. Amnions and is the
father of four children.
Chief Ammons is a member
of the Evergreen Bible Free
will Holiness Church of Pem
broke. His activities in the
church are: substitute teach
ing for Sunday School; serv
ing as a youth supervisor, a
pianist, and a member the
Three Dimensions gospel
singing group.
Chief Amnions' hobbies
include golfing, fishing and
selling insurance. "Fishing is
my first love," said Chiel
Ammons.
Chief Ammons graduated
from Pembroke High School
in 1963 and spent four years
in the Army. While in the
Army he participated in a
number of communications
workshops, according to
Ammon^ And from 1970 to
1979 Chief Ammons said he
was involved in basic correc
tional officer training courses
which allowed him to serve
with the N.C. Department of
Correction. During this time
Chief Ammons also received a
B.A. in Sociology from Pem
broke State University in
1976.
Chief Ammons is an advi
sory committee member for
Law Enforcement at Robeson
Technical College. In additi
on, he is a life member of the
VFW <Vetems of Foreign
Wars) of Pembroke. 'iW
Chief Ammons said there are
at least two hundred and
eighty-four hours of basic
Police Academy training to be
completed before one can
ever put on the police badge.
Chief Ammons is the son of (
Delbert and the late Ludahlia
Ammons. Mrs. Ludahlia
Ammons, according to Chief
Ammons, taught school for 42
years. Chief Ammons said,
"My father was also police
chief of Pembroke when he
was shot down and disabled
for life, in the line of duty."
