A member of St. Joseph in Rosemount, St. Paul Police Officer Charlie Redmond, received the department’s Life Saving Award Dec. 23 for acting while off duty when he saw a vehicle parked in a wooded area in June and stopped to give assistance.
The vehicle was empty but owned by a St. Paul firefighter who was experiencing a mental health crisis. Searchers found the firefighter and she received treatment.
Redmond’s wife, Colleen, is a sergeant with the St. Paul police force. Father Michael Anderson, who retired in July after most recently ministering at St. Joseph of the Lakes in Lino Lakes, is Charlie Redmond’s uncle.
