Captain Roy Bradford Retires from Highway Patrol Phase Two Begins
Roy Bradford, long-time Alabama Highway Patrol officer, retires under the State Employees System in mid May and is named Justice of the Peace for Beat One, Morgan County. His career began December 1936 with postings in Decatur and Jackson County, later Morgan County, earning promotions to lieutenant in 1947 and captain in 1959. He recalls two near-fatal incidents, including a 1947 shooting threat and a shotgun threat at the state line, yet never fired a weapon in anger. Six governors have overseen his service, and he says he is eager to learn his new duties.
