In becoming a police officer at the age of 20, Seth Alday took the first step in what he hopes will be a lifelong career in law enforcement. Now, as he accepts his bachelor's degree in criminology, from Florida State University's College of Criminology and Criminal Justice, he is taking another.  Alday, who is from Altha, Florida, is currently a patrol lieutenant with the Chattahoochee Police Department in Gadsden County and since 2022, he's been a student at FSU. A couple years into his career, Alday was looking toward the future.
