Officer Redding was killed in a freak accident after responding to an accident in which a vehicle had struck a telephone pole. As Officer Redding exited his cruiser another passing car struck the downed line, causing it to fly across the street, wrap around Officer Redding's ankle, and throwing him into the air and to the ground. He was killed almost instantly when he struck the ground.

George and I were academy classmates and were assigned to the San Leandro Area office out of the Academy. We put in for motorcycle duty and worked together until he transferred to Redding. I was a guest at George’s home several times over the years. He and his wife were gracious hosts and were fun to be around. George was a fine officer and a good friend. I still miss him. Rest in peace, George.
