Additional context: The Auburn police were the employer of the first officer convicted after Initiative 940 brought the circumstances in which a police officer could be charged with murder in Washington state in line with the other 49 states. Former Auburn officer Jeffrey Nelson was sentenced to 16 years, 8 months in prison for the murder of Jesse Sarey.

"In attendance on Nelson’s side of the courtroom were various family and friends, Auburn Police officers, including Assistant Chief Sam Betz and Cmdr. Cristian Adams, who defended Nelson in a statement to Phelps, and Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus, who did not speak to the judge. According to City of Auburn spokesperson Jonathan Glover, Backus attended to support the Auburn Police Department and City of Auburn staff, of which many officers were in attendance, including Nelson’s wife, Natalie Mount, a current Auburn officer." Nelson had a long history of questionable use of force which went completely unchecked by the Auburn police before Sarey's murder.
