What Could Help Further Inquiry

If you’re seeking public confirmation or wish to obtain more details, you might consider:

• Checking official channels such as the Saint Paul Police Department’s website or social media, or city press releases.

• Monitoring local news outlets like the Saint Paul Pioneer Press, KSTP, WCCO‑TV, or other regional media for recent updates.

• Visiting dedicated memorial or fallen-officer honor resources that track line-of-duty deaths in Minnesota.

A Draft Message You Might Use

If your goal is to share condolences or draft a meaningful message—whether for internal distribution among colleagues, for a public acknowledgment, or a memorial—here’s a respectful sample you can use or adapt:

With Deepest Sympathy and Remembrance

Our Saint Paul Police family is deeply saddened by the unexpected and tragic loss of Officer Eric McArthur, a dedicated servant to our city for nine years. For the past four years, he served alongside his loyal K‑9 partner, Finn, in the Canine Unit—together, they brought safety, dedication, and joy to our community each day they came to work.

Anyone who had the privilege of knowing Eric knows that he cared deeply, mentored others with enthusiasm and generosity, and brought laughter into our lives. His absence leaves a profound void.

Please hold Eric’s family and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. His service, compassion, and friendship will forever be remembered and cherished.
