On my honor ...

On Tuesday, April 20, the Eagan City Council held their bi-weekly meeting at the Eagan Municipal Center building. After the Pledge of Allegiance, new Eagan Police Officer Eric Tessmer was sworn in with Police Chief McDonald presenting him. Officer Tessmer grew up on a dairy farm in Minnesota, graduated from University Minnesota Duluth and later did his police training and prison work in Arizona. He was glad to move back to Minnesota with his family to his roots.
Congratulations and welcome to Eagan!

Who said you can never go home again? I bet he will be very dedicated to the community!

Is it true that right after the chief was sworn in, you were arrested for impersonating a journalist?

The inquiring mind of «Louis la Vache» wants to know...

Congratulation to him! He is so young...

Congratulations, Officer Tessmer! I hope you will do your family and your new town proud.

This is something I will never experience here, and I don't think I'd want to anyway. Our cops are probably one of the worst and most corrupt in the world. :(

How nice to see that there are still police men left that provide an honest image. One would like to send a few over there, to do their training again.
Wishing him all the best and a wonderful Thursday you as well.

Officer Tessmer is fine man and Police Officer. What he is not and never will be is any good at Fantasy Football however. I mean who drafts MATT HASSELBECK with the 11th pick in the first round?!
