In a somber announcement shared on social media, the White Settlement Police Department has expressed deep condolences to the Weatherford Police Department and the family of Officer Eric Warren, who has passed away after a lengthy struggle with cancer. As reported by the White Settlement Police Department’s Facebook page, Officer Warren, a respected figure within the local law enforcement community, died last Thursday.
In their heartfelt tribute, the White Settlement Police detailed Officer Warren’s illustrious career, which spanned over three decades dedicated to public service. "Today, September 18, 2025, we lost our friend, our brother, and our mentor," the White Settlement Police Department reflected. Warren launched his career at the Parker County Sheriff’s Office as a dispatcher, where he then progressed to the role of Deputy. Afterward, at the Weatherford Police Department, he shone brightly as a member of the Motorcycle Unit—spearheaded by Chief Blaisdell—at a time when the force was concentrated on addressing traffic concerns.
With the disbandment of the Motorcycle Unit, Officer Warren found a renewed calling in the education and nurturing of up-and-coming law enforcement officers. His ability to instruct on a variety of subjects – from firearms to procedures, to new laws – was not merely a profession; it was a passion infused with his own unique brand of heart. "Whether it was firearms, procedures, or new laws, Officer Warren wanted to ensure every officer was prepared for the job," the post added. His role extended to Weatherford College as the Assistant Training Coordinator, thereby influencing a generation of officers across Parker County and beyond.
