EATON — The City of Eaton Police Division appointed two new sergeants and a second detective during the council meeting on Monday, Dec. 17.

The two new sergeants are David Sizemore and Sean Mackie. The new detective is Luke Baker. All three were promoted from within the department.

According to Police Chief Steve Hurd, for the two sergeant positions, the promotional process began with three candidates. First, they had to start by writing an essay about how they would incorporate the department’s guiding principals into their leadership style. They also had to include their five year visionary plan.

There was an assessment center, which had three stages: citizen complaint, badge assessment, and interview panel.

For the second detective position, Baker was appointed after an interview panel.

City Manager Brad Collins presented his monthly report:
