February 2, 1944 ill &LV4 OQXTCB Long Years of Experience Fit AMP Chief Hillis for His Job V ; WW To most Hill Fielders, mention of the Auxiliary Military Police just naturally includes Chief Brent C. Hills and vice versa. The chief and the AMP have become practically synonomous. Which fact being the case, Chief Hillis is one very busy man. Police work is old stuff to him. And it's a business he knows from the ground up. One might even go 29 so far as to say that from his first day in patrol work, he's really known what made the "wheels go 'round" in this police game , . . he started as one of Utah's first three motorcycle cops! That was in 1928, the year the state of Utah decided to activate a highway patrol and put Hillis in the "driver's seat" of one of a trio of patrolling the highways and byways of Utah. By 1934 that "driver's seat" had grown to greater proportions .and he was Lt. Hillis, head man for Utah's entire highway patrol which in the interim had grown from force of three to 50 men. Then in 1938, the patrol was deemed large enough to be split into a northern and southern half and Hillis was placed in charge of the more important northern half which included Salt Lake City and county. September of 1941,' and a big change was in the offing for Hillis. He came to work as chief of auxiliary military police at Hill Field, "the top" and stickstarting from two and a half years James Luvaris ing there for that have seen his meager force of When brother has to introduce AMP's grow to the present 300. , A zealot for cooperation, the himself to brother, one can suspect more than chief asks for no more than just the occasion as. being In ' the case of that from Hill Fielders clerks and commonplace. now a supply clerk crew chiefs as well as his own James Luvaris, force.
