Oakland County detective laid to rest day after Hillsdale County deputy is slain [Video]

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (WXYZ) — Law enforcement officers from around the state of Michigan packed The Apostolic Church in Auburn Hills Friday for the funeral of Oakland County Sheriff’s Detective Bradley Reckling.

Reckling, 30, was shot and killed Saturday night during an undercover operation in Detroit involving a stolen vehicle.

He leaves behind three young children and a wife who is pregnant with their fourth child.

“The police community is so supportive of one another. They never want to have to do this, but when they do, they just come out in force to care for one another and to show their support for this family,” said Vern Pixley, president of Pixley Funeral Home.

Reckling was with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office for nine years. He was a detective in the auto theft unit and a member of the motorcycle unit.
