Micah has made exceptional achievements in his chosen profession of law enforcement. In his two years of service he has made over 400 arrests, including 213 arrests for outstanding warrants and nearly 40 drug-titled offenses. He has an excellent attendance record and daily displays a positive attitude and a strong work ethic. To date this year, Micah had received eight letters of commendation.

Officer Aldred excels in the areas of personal improvement, social improvement to major contemporary problems, and voluntary service. During high school, Micah played defensive end on the football team and had been offered a scholarship. However during the first game of his senior year, he suffered a broken neck which ended his hopes of a football career. He continued on where he served in the military for four years and became a helicopter maintenance technician. After receiving an honorable discharge, Micah attended College of the Mainland and Alvin Community College resulting in him being commissioned as a peace officer. Since his employment as a peace officer, he has continued his professional education and has become certified as an H.G.N. practitioner and F.T.O. Micah hopes to continue his service in law enforcement as a canine officer or narcotics investigator.

Micah has been devoting his time to community service since high school. He served as a volunteer firefighter for the Dickenson Fire Department from 1994 to 1999. He served the United States Army for four years as a helicopter maintenance technician. He served briefly in the National Guard and currently serves the Baytown community as a police officer.

Officer Aldred’s humanitarian efforts are displayed daily as he serves as a police officer. He exemplifies the Jaycee Creed that states, “Service to humanity is the best work of life”, as his life since high school has been dedicated to public service as shown by his service with the fire department, military, and police department.

The Baytown Police Department is proud of its officer and his accomplishments. We feel that he is truly deserving of the award.

The Jaycees is an organization that provides young people between the ages of 21 and 39, leadership and personal training opportunities through community service and involvement.
