Candlelight Vigil Monday, to honor Officer Matt Redding

Rocklin, Calif.- Members of the public are invited to attend a candlelight vigil on October 9, 2006 at 7:00 p.m. in honor of the service and sacrifice of Officer Matt Redding, who was killed in the line of duty on that date last year.

The candlelight vigil will be held in front of the Rocklin Police Station, 4080 Rocklin Road.

Officer Redding was killed by a drunk driver in the early morning hours of October 9, 2005, on Highway 65 near Stanford Ranch Road while he was directing traffic away from his fellow officers during a car stop. He was a member of the SWAT team and was decorated for valor, life saving and meritorious duty.

Officer Redding was also a champion in the fight against drunk driving. Officer Redding served as a Rocklin police officer for 4 years.  The City Council described him as a man committed to his family, friends, his fellow officers and the community.

The Rocklin City Council has declared October 9, 2006 an Official Day of Remembrance in the City of Rocklin.

Members of Peer Support, the Police Association and other employees have worked together to plan a number of remembrance activities for October 9th. These ceremonial activities are done to honor the memory of Matt. Recognition of the anniversary of Matt’s death is also an important part of our grieving process and serves to pay appropriate respect to Matt’s family, survivors and all those affected by this tragic loss.
