Officer Naricisco Inchaurregui is newer to the LPD force than our previous highlights, having only two years under his police utility belt. But growing up in Lorain has given him an advantage that some of the other longer-standing officers on this force don't have. As a child, he lived in South Lorain with his sister and four brothers, resulting in his familiarity with a fair amount of people, various neighborhoods, and the many cultures of our international city. He attended Lowell Elementary School, where he started wrestling in second grade with the Southview Youth Wrestling Program, continuing into high school at Southview and then Lorain High. He gained a reputation for being an instigator during his many wrestling matches. Inchaurregui sheepishly recalls that he got the two forearm tattoos that depict "Loved" and "Hated" in a fancy script in honor of his ornery "trash talking" days. He chuckled at the memory of how he would taunt the opposing team's audience, and then they would boo him. Today, it's hard to envision Inchaurregui acting in a rowdy or brash way. The man I interviewed was exceedingly polite and gracious, a great conversationalist, open, and gentle-hearted, all the things that most people don't associate with police officers. But that's what makes this one exceptional.

Along with his line of work, Inchaurregui is also a devoted father and husband. One of his joys on his days off—along with MMA training, lifting weights, professional wrestling, and playing video games—is EATING! (He wrote that in all caps in one of our text messages.) He also likes watching Disney+ with his family and says he enjoys coming home late when everyone else is in bed to help with the laundry and cleaning the house. It's admirably obvious that family is a high priority for him.
