Michigan recently lost two dedicated police officers.

- Flags have been lowered today in Michigan as the state honors the life and service of Oakland County Sheriff Deputy Bradley Reckling.  He passed away in the line of duty last Saturday as he was pursing a suspected stolen vehicle in Detroit.  Three people were taken into custody.  

He had been with the Oakland County Sheriff's Office for nine years and was assigned to the Auto Theft Unit.  He received numerous awards during his career, including commendations for life saving, meritorious service, and professional excellence.

And then this week, a sheriff’s deputy was fatally shot during a rural traffic stop in Hillsdale County.  He died at the hospital and his name has not yet been released. 

Police said the suspect was later shot and killed when he exchanged gunfire with state troopers in the community of Osseo.

State Police said on X that it was “heartbroken” by the death of the deputy, who became “the second police officer to be killed this week while serving the residents of Michigan.”
