Florida, USA – Eric Trump, the son of former U.S. President Donald Trump, has officially been sworn in as a special deputy sheriff in St. Lucie County, Florida

. The announcement was confirmed by the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office

and quickly drew public attention, as it represents a new chapter in Eric Trump’s public life.

Sheriff Ken Mascara welcomed Eric Trump into the honorary role, which is largely ceremonial.

Special deputy sheriff positions are commonly offered to community members and public figures to recognize their support for law enforcement or local initiatives.

The role does not grant the same authority or responsibilities as a full-time law enforcement officer.“

We’re honored to have Eric Trump’s support and look forward to working together on community engagement efforts,” Sheriff Mascara said in a statement

.This development comes after Eric Trump officially relocated his residence from New York to Florida, joining other members of the Trump family who have made the state their home in recent years.

Florida has become a central hub for the Trump family’s business and political activities,

with former President Donald Trump residing at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach.

Eric Trump has been a key figure in the Trump Organization, overseeing a wide range of business operations.

His move to Florida positions him closer to family business interests and local community initiatives

.While the announcement has sparked discussions on social media, most reactions have been positive or neutral, with many seeing it as a symbolic gesture of support for law enforcement.

Political analysts note that honorary appointments like this are not uncommon in Florida and other states, often serving as a bridge between public figures and local communities.

There has been no indication from Eric Trump that this step signals plans for elected office or a larger political campaign.

Instead, his focus appears to remain on business operations and community involvement

.Eric Trump’s appointment reflects the Trump family’s continued presence and influence in Florida, both in business and public life. While the position itself is honorary, it highlights Eric Trump’s growing engagement with local communities.

As Florida continues to play a central role in national political conversations, public interest in the Trump family’s activities remains strong.

Whether this move will lead to more prominent public roles for Eric Trump is something observers will be watching closely in the months ahead.
