Flint Police Officer Charles Redmond Dies by Suicide
Flint, MI — The City of Flint is mourning the loss of Officer Charles Redmond, who has passed away under circumstances currently under investigation.

Details regarding Officer Redmond’s duty status at the time of his death have not been released, and the investigation remains active. Officials have asked for patience as facts are carefully confirmed.
Redmond’s career included public scrutiny in 2023, following a misdemeanor assault allegation involving the treatment of a handcuffed individual. That incident resulted in unpaid leave and sparked community dialogue around policing, accountability, and trust.

Anyone in need of help can contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the U.S. by calling or texting 988.
May Officer Charles Redmond be remembered with humanity, and may his family, colleagues, and community find support and understanding during this difficult time.
