In late December, fellow Kiwanian

Deputy Chief Marty Sumner to the post effective March 1. In
announcing the appointment of the new police chief, Boynton
pointed to Sumner’s 27-year career in law enforcement and his
many roles with increasing responsibility in the department.
After one year with the Thomasville department, he joined the
High Point Police Dept. in 1985 as a patrol officer. He has
served as a field training officer in the patrol bureau, a
vice/narcotics detective and residential burglary detective, and
as a training officer. He was promoted to lieutenant in 1997,
and worked in the patrol bureau, the vice/narcotics division,
and as administrative assistant to the chief. In 2002, Sumner
was promoted to captain, then major/assistant chief in 2003. In
that role, Sumner coordinated the department’s violent crimes
reduction strategies. Fealy promoted Sumner to deputy chief in
2011. Sumner, 48, received his B. A. from John Wesley College
in 1995, graduating summa cum laude. The High Point native
