In 2021, Lieutenant Jesse Petersen was implicated in a lawsuit filed by former Officer Ryan Fraker, alleging that Petersen’s conduct contributed to a toxic work environment. Fraker claimed he faced retaliatory actions, including low performance scores and false accusations, after reporting Petersen’s behavior, ultimately leading to his termination. The lawsuit sought $5 million in damages. ([ktvz.com](https://ktvz.com/news/2021/02/12/absolutely-demoralizing-2-lawsuits-allege-toxic-work-environment-at-redmond-pd/?utm_source=openai))
