At its Aug. 19 regular meeting, the Eagan City Council witnessed the swearing-in of Jacob "Jake" Coulson as a sergeant in the Eagan Police Department. The council also adopted the consent agenda and adjourned after a brief session; one scheduled public hearing was withdrawn by the applicant.
The Eagan City Council ceremonially swore in Jacob "Jake" Coulson as a sergeant in the Eagan Police Department at its Aug. 19 regular meeting. The council adopted the consent agenda and then adjourned after a brief session.
The oath of office was administered during the recognitions and presentations portion of the meeting. Eagan Police Chief (name not specified) said the evening is "really important to the officer and their families," and introduced Coulson's family, including his wife Cassandra and children Liam, Charlotte, Eleanor and Eden. Mayor Jake Carlson and several colleagues attended to mark the promotion.
Coulson began his law enforcement career with the Dakota County Sheriff's Office and joined the Eagan Police Department in 2014. Department remarks noted he has served as a member of the department SWAT team, worked as a detective, led multiple investigations, and served as a field training officer. The chief said Coulson's promotion joins a group of recently promoted sergeants, naming Sergeant Streeplin, Sergeant Mead and Sergeant Kopp as previous promotions within the department.
Mayor Jake Carlson thanked Coulson and his family for attending and noted the show of support from Coulson's colleagues. "It's a pleasure to see them," Carlson said, adding that family support is an important part of law enforcement service.
Outside the promotion, the council conducted routine business: Councilor Bakken moved to adopt the meeting agenda as presented; the motion was seconded and carried. Council member Hansen moved to adopt the balance of the consent agenda; that motion was seconded and carried. The meeting record notes that one item scheduled for a public hearing was withdrawn by the applicant and that there were no public hearings, no old business, and no new business for the evening. A motion to adjourn was made, seconded and carried.
The meeting featured no legislative or economic development updates, no public comments on agenda items, and no additional administrative actions recorded in the transcript. The session concluded shortly after the oath of office and the consent vote.
