The current WSPD badge worn by Police Officers in White Settlement was designed in 2023 to represent the western heritage of our hometown. The wagon traveling west represents the early settlers migrating to the area. The tepees represent the Native American population that resided in the area who traded with the migrant population. The creek represents Farmers Branch Creek, an important watershed for the pioneers.
The chimney smoke represents a news article from 1849 where soldiers from Fort Worth looked to the west and were comforted when they saw the early settlers. The State of Texas and star were added to reflect the Lone Star State and geographic location. The wagon wheel and vegetation at the top of the badge further represents early western culture. The date of 1838 was determined to the be the first recorded date of land acquisition by the early pioneers.
