Agent Arthur Valdez

I graduated from Milby High School in the East End of Houston, TX in May of 1969. I attended San Jacinto College after high school, but joined the Houston Police Department in April of 1970, at age 19. I was with HPD for 22 years and retired in January of 1992 as a sergeant. I accepted employment with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission as a state police officer and continue in that capacity.

I first became involved with Navidad En El Barrio (NEEB) as a sergeant with HPD when I send a unit to help out the first NEEB function. I also take much joy in seeing the faces on the children that normally wouldn't get Christmas presents. I believe that children are our most valuable resource and hold the key to this world's future. I am in this for the children. I have managed to get my family and TABC involved in NEEB. I even got my mother involved in her old school that she graduated from in 1938.
