The Redding Area and
Burney Resident Post is in beautiful Northern California, within the boundaries
of Shasta County. Shasta County has a population of over 182,000 and
encompasses approximately 3,775 square miles. Most of the population resides
along Interstate 5 (I-5), which bisects the county from north to south. Along
the I-5 corridor are the cities of Redding, Anderson, Shasta Lake, and numerous
smaller, unincorporated communities. Shasta County contains an abundance of recreational
opportunities in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta and Whiskeytown
Lakes, the Sacramento River, and numerous creeks.
Our mission is to
“provide the highest level of Safety, Service, and Security to the people of
California.” The Redding Area strives to ensure California is the safest place
to live, work, and travel. Our primary focus is on interstate freeways (I-5),
California State Routes (299, 273, 89, and 44), and all unincorporated county
roads, where we actively seek to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes and
reduce crime. We believe in the value of community service, respect for others,
and fair and impartial policing.
We also serve our
community through educational programs such as Age Well Drive Smart and Start
Smart, and we can help with certain VIN verifications, School Bus Driver
certification, and signing of fix-it tickets. Please do not hesitate to
reach out to us!
