While on patrol in June of 1961, Officer Daniel Redding and his partner were called to a burglary-in-progress on the City’s West Side.  A foot-chase ensued with the burglary suspects and Officer Redding severely injured his leg when he fell over a fence.  A serious infection developed in his leg causing Officer Redding to undergo 27 surgeries from 1961 to 1964.  He retired on disability in 1964.  

On July 27, 1965 Daniel Alfred Redding passed away as a result of the injuries he sustained in 1961.
