          2)Background on Officer Nelson.  David J. Nelson graduated from  
            the Kern County Law Enforcement Training Academy on June 21,  
            2013, and served with distinction during his tenure as a City  
            of Bakersfield police officer.  Officer Nelson was selected as  
            a defensive tactics instructor in recognition of his advanced  
            skill in officer safety techniques and, because of his  
            commitment to excellence, was also selected to mentor and  
            train police officer trainees.

            On June 26, 2015, Officer Nelson attempted to detain a  
            dangerous and armed suspect.  When the suspect failed to stop  
            his vehicle, Officer Nelson gave chase and was killed in a  
            fatal vehicle accident during the pursuit.
