The city of Opelika took some time to honor a former police officer with a proclamation recognizing her as the first Black female police officer in its history.
Last Night at the Opelika City Council Meeting Mayor Fuller, along with Captain Amerson and Captain Miller, presented Lucy Kirk with a Proclamation recognizing her for being the first black female police officer in Opelika. Kirk started at OPD in 1974 as a parking control officer in downtown. In 1979 she completed the Police Academy and spent the next 15 years serving the citizens of Opelika as a traffic officer. She rose in ranks to Sergeant and retired in April of 1994.
During Tuesday’s city council meeting, Mayor Gary Fuller and city council thanked Kirk for her service.
