Joseph T. Allmond was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey on March 28, 1921. He was the first baby to be baptized in the newly built St. Augustine's Church, where he was a lifetime member. Mr. Allmond was happily married for 62 years to the late Larue G. Allmond. Together, they had a daughter JoAnn Haynes Treherne; two grandsons, Alfred and Christopher Haynes; one great-granddaughter, Christiana Haynes.
Joe was the first African-American Chief of Police in the history of Atlantic City. He worked his way up from beat cop to the top position in the Police Department, along with serving four years in the USAF. During his 39 years of service, Chief Allmond received more than 65 honors, including commendations from the FBI, the US Secret Service, and the Atlantic County Grand Jury. The City honored his lifetime of achievements by placing an historical marker bearing his name and biography.
A special citation for "extreme courage and heroism under fire" was awarded to Chief Allmond. He dragged a wounded comrade 50 yards to safety during a gun battle which left 7 officers wounded. Chief Allmond was recognized by the City's SWAT Team and by "Who's Who in American Law Enforcement." He joined the International Association of Chiefs of Police, served on the Boards of YMCA, Westside Convalescent Home (co-founder and first certified administrator), the Atlantic County Criminal Justice Advisory Board, and the Vestry of St. Augustine's Episcopal Church.
Chief Allmond's advice to the youth of our city was always one of encouragement: "With hard work, dedication, and self-discipline, there are no limits to what one can achieve."
