In honor of the life and service of Oakland County Sheriff’s Deputy, Bradley Reckling, Governor Gretchen Whitmer has ordered U.S. and Michigan flags within the State Capitol Complex and upon all public buildings and grounds across the state of Michigan to be lowered to half-staff on Friday, June 28th.
The Oakland County Sheriff’s office says Reckling was fatally shot last weekend while pursuing a suspected stolen vehicle in Detroit.
In a news release, Governor Whitmer says, “Deputy Reckling was a dedicated officer, husband, and dad who worked hard to keep his community safe.”
Deputy Reckling had been with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office for nine years and was assigned to the Auto Theft Unit.
The governor’s office says flags should be returned to full staff on Saturday, June 29, 2024.
