Rowdy Guerra is the newest member of the McClain County Sheriff’s Department.

He was sworn in earlier this week by sheriff Landy Offolter.

Guerra has logged 11 years in law enforcement and became interested in the business doing shop with a cop as a child growing up in Newcastle.

He and his wife, Cecilia, have three children Tegan, 18, Presley, 16, and Isabella 11.

Guerra reports the most rewarding part of his job is talking to people and changing their opinion of law enforcement.

The most challenging part of the job is “not being able to help every person,” he said.
