I know the dept is short staffed for the needs of the city but they consistently exceed expectations. Chief Barner is a dynamic leader and works well with, and has the respect of, his officers and the community. The K9 units are worth their weight in gold and I am a big fan of them. My only recommendation is that the City Council allocate more resources for more officers.

Red Bluff PD is one of the last remaining "good ol boys" police departments left in this country…read more They arrested me for a DUI and refused to show me the results of the roadside breathalyzer. Then, they refused to take me to the hospital for a blood test as mandated by State law. After that, I was surrounded and threatened by 5 officers with them trying to physically force me to take another breathalyzer test at the station. I told them they were unethical and scandalous. A female officer yelled out, "he's resisting!" as I was sitting calmly cuffed with my hands behind my back. Then, two male officers bounced me off of three walls, threw me in a cell, dropped knees in my back and stripped me naked. There was no toilet in the room at it was very cold. I never flexed a muscle, raised my voice or threatened the whole time. They charged me with 6 trumped up offenses that were dismissed with me representing myself because my public defender, Miller, told me I was guilty of all charges. What is going on in this town? I try to avoid Red Bluff at all costs now. Heed my warning folks - you are not safe from police brutality in Red Bluff.

I went into the Redding DMV today to renew my disabled placard (which expires on June 30, 2023,…read morebecause my primary doctor had made an error in filling out the DMV placard renewal form. I am 82, short of breath, and standing in lines and walking around is very hard for me. My wait to get to a window was only 10-15 minutes and I had a chair to sit in while I was waiting. Once I got to a window, the DMV rep (Brandon) (who I did not know and had never met before) was extremely courteous and got me a seat near his window while he worked on my case. In about 15 minutes, he completed the paperwork and issued me my new placard...good until June 30, 2025! I was so relieved, comforted and pleased with the great speed, friendly consideration and help that I had experienced! Thank you again CA DMV and representative Brandon! Robert Paul Wilson

The City of Redding is not only worth the time to explore, it's a gateway to so many wonderful…read moretreasures in lesser trafficked Northern California. I've been here a handful of times - always on my way to or from somewhere else - year I've always wanted to spend more time here after discovering some of the local goodies. For starters, everyone should stopover at the magnificent piece of architecture that is the Sundial Bridge, the neighboring arboritum, and the Turtle Bay nature preserve. The downtown has plenty to explore as well, including countless small shops and restaurants in a very walkable environment. Lastly, it's within an hour of piety of natural splendor, including multiple lakes, rivers, Lassen National Park and lake and Mt. Shasta. Like any reasonably sized city, there are some downsides. Get in the wrong part of town and you will find some crime and more drug use than some other cities of its size. Take the mostly good with the little bad and you have a new place to visit! I'd recommend Redding to anyone looking for a foothold on exploring the northern part of our state.

Things and stuff in Redding…read more.. The coronavirus changed the way people live and how businesses operate. Redding has plenty of outdoor activities from hiking to fishing to kayaking... not to mention within a 30 mile radius of Redding are more than 600 square miles of State and National Parks and Forests open to public access. You'd be complying with social distancing! Redding is known as the "Trails Capital of California" unfortunately, I'm not an avid hiker. I live through hiking photos from seasoned hikers, Elmer and Shayla. I do enjoy sightseeing and beautiful scenery so we do "some" hiking. Redding experiences over 300 days of sunshine, Redding is the 2nd sunniest city in the U.S and last week we came to spend a weekend here. It was 108° degrees, humid, then the following day thunderstorm! Forbes Magazine named Redding a "Top 10 Fishing Town in North America." The Sacramento River runs clear and cold right through the heart of Redding and is California's longest river beginning near Mt. Shasta and flowing into the San Francisco Bay. All of Redding's drinking water comes from the Sacramento River. Redding is home to the Cascade Theatre which opened Friday, August 9, 1935. It's got some historic background behind it and, supposedly, it's haunted! Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 it remains temporarily closed. Under Governor Newsom's plan, venues like the Cascade Theatre will not be able to reopen until stage four. Damn this pandemic! Lastly, we saw for the first time The Sundial Bridge. The bridge is pretty famous and is a California icon and one of the largest working sundials in the world. It is a pedestrian bridge over the Sacramento River in the heart of Redding. Beautiful bridge. Saw it in the daytime and nighttime. Redding is not exempt from wildfires. In July 28, 2018 the city experienced one of the California's large wildfire that burned in Shasta and Trinity Counties -- The Carr Fire. This was big news in Northern California. The fire burned 229,651 acres destroying many homes and structures and, sadly, deaths. I found it ironic that the Carr Fire was caused by a car... yup, the fire started when a flat tire on a car caused the wheel's rim to scrape against the asphalt, creating sparks that set off the fire. So sad. We have not experienced a good dine-in restaurant in Redding because of the pandemic. I'm not fond of takeout too much. Once in a while I like to be served inside a nice restaurant.
