Hometown Hero Billy Mumaw

Finding Brotherhood in the Marines

In 1991, Billy Mumaw joined the United States Marine Corps in search of camaraderie and a sense of purpose. He began his training at Camp Lejeune, a sprawling 156,000-acre military base in North Carolina. Known for its eleven miles of beach, three training facilities, and eighty live-fire ranges, Camp Lejeune is renowned for preparing combat-ready units for missions worldwide. Billy’s time at the camp forged lasting bonds and laid the foundation for his military career. As a member of Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 6th Marines, Billy rose to the rank of Corporal before concluding his service in 1995.

Serving the Community in Law Enforcement

After leaving the military, Billy transitioned to a new form of service by joining the York, SC Police Department. This career not only gave him a new sense of brotherhood but also allowed him to contribute to his community. During his tenure, Billy’s dedication and leadership earned him numerous accolades, including the prestigious Officer of the Year award in 2004. His commitment to excellence saw him rise to the rank of Lieutenant, overseeing the detective’s office. After 22 years of distinguished service, Billy retired in December 2020.

Making an Impact Beyond the Badge

Billy’s commitment to helping others extended beyond his roles in the Marines and law enforcement. While at the Police Department, he spearheaded a toy and clothing drive for underprivileged children, using a vacant office to collect donations. In 2020 alone, his efforts provided a joyful Christmas for ten families. This initiative continues today, thanks to the dedication of Billy’s fellow officers who have carried on his mission.

In addition to his charitable work, Billy teaches lifesaving skills and safety defense classes, helping others gain confidence and preparedness. He is also an active member of the York Masonic Lodge and York County Crescent Shrine Club, further strengthening his community ties.

Enjoying Retirement with Purpose

In retirement, Billy cherishes the simple joys of life. Whether relaxing in his man cave or sharing a cigar with friends, he values time spent with loved ones and the peace of a life well-lived.
