In case you haven’t heard, Redding has a new Police Chief in town. Chief Brian Barner has been with the Redding Police Department for nearly 27 years and worked alongside former Chief Bill Schueller before being officially promoted to Chief in October 2023. He was unanimously selected by two different interview panels based on his work experience, dedication to the community, and overall knowledge and training.
Chief Barner talks about his perspective on law enforcement in the Redding Community, what he thinks of Redding safety in general, and how he plans to address local quality of life issues. He talks about the local jail space mental health support for law enforcement, the rollout of body-worn cameras, and his plans for the future.
His close connection to the community and the years of work alongside former Chief Schueller means that most of his goals aim to keep the good work going - from a fully staffed police force to new technology solutions - the community shouldn’t expect a slowdown anytime soon. It’s full steam ahead for RPD.
