The Oak Park Police Department thanks the community for the outpouring of support it received following the tragic death of Detective Allan Reddins, who was killed in the line of duty the morning of Nov. 29 while responding to a call involving an armed individual.
Although public memorials for Det. Reddins have come and gone, the Police Department and Village of Oak Park continue to mourn his loss and honor his service. Det. Reddins was 40 years old and a Chicago native. He was sworn in as a member of the Oak Park Police Department in May 2019 and is remembered as a humble and dedicated public servant committed to his role of helping protect the community.
A 37-year-old Chicago man with an extensive criminal background was charged with the first-degree murder of Det. Reddins. The man was also charged with attempted murder of a peace officer, possession of a stolen firearm and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.
Det. Reddins is the seventh member of the Oak Park Police Department to die in the line of duty and first since 1938.
The loss of Det. Reddins has had a deep impact on Oak Park’s tight-knit Police Department. Yet in the midst of the unspeakable loss of their colleague, the men and women of the Police Department have continued to serve the community by providing high-quality law enforcement services around the clock.
Det. Reddins’ death serves as a heart-wrenching reminder of the inherent risks first responders face when they report for duty. And while the senseless violence that took Det. Reddins’ life is all too common in American society, it undoubtedly creates a deep sense of sorrow and concern when it strikes so close to home.
Nonetheless, Police Chief Shatonya Johnson reinforced the Police Department’s determination to keep the community safe while addressing attendees at Det. Reddins’ funeral last month.
“With this tragic loss, there will be a void that will feel impossible to fill…but we are unbreakable,” Chief Johnson said. “We all remember the impact Allan had on our lives, the sacrifice he made and the legacy he leaves behind. I guarantee we will emerge stronger and wiser.”
More information about the case and a recording of Det. Reddins’ funeral is available on the Village website at www.oak-park.us/reddins.
