History

Danny received his bachelor's degree in Government from Texas Christian University. He then attended Southern Methodist University where he earned his Law Degree and later passed the Texas Bar.

Coulson worked for the next nine years in the FBI's New York Division, where he specialized in Police Assassination, Fugitive, and Bank Robbery Investigations. Additionally he served on the FBI’s Sniper Team and commanded one of the most active SWAT Teams in the FBI.

In 1982, after a rise through the ranks of the FBI, Coulson was assigned to create the Hostage Rescue Team (HRT).[5] While in command of HRT, Coulson personally negotiated the surrender of domestic terrorists at Mountain Home, AR, without any loss of life. For his actions, Coulson received the Attorney General's Award for Exceptional Service.

In 1986 Coulson was the Inspector In Charge of the Iran Contra Investigation for the FBI and later headed up the same investigation for Independent Counsel Judge Lawrence Walsh.

In 1987, Coulson was the tactical commander at the Atlanta Prison Riots. That situation culminated with the release of over a hundred hostages. He has secured the release of over two hundred and seventy five hostages in his career.

As Deputy Assistant Director of the FBI's Criminal Investigation Division, Danny managed all investigations of violent crimes, and terrorism world wide, as well as civil rights and special inquiries for the White House.

As Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the FBI office in Dallas, Texas he was detailed as one of the Commanders of the Oklahoma City bombing investigation.

In 1997, upon retiring from the FBI, Danny created a private security firm, Coulson, Jackson and Associates, assisting law firms and international corporations. Additionally he handles security matters for some of the most high profile athletes in the United States.

While residing in Texas, Danny Coulson co-authored No Heroes: Inside The FBI's Secret Counter-Terror Force[2] with Elaine Shannon of Time Magazine.[6]
