None of the Schwegels know just why so many of them became dedicated public servants. Was it genetic? Was it the result of mutual influences and experiences? In any case, six Schwegels have taken to heart the motto of “Protect and Serve.” In the front row are son Chad Schwegel, Stearns County deputy; and his father, Rob Schwegel, Stearns County deputy sergeant. In the back row are Blake Schwegel, St. Cloud firefighter; Mathew Schwegel, second-lieutenant in the U.S. Army Rangers; and Derek Schwegel, St. Cloud firefighter. Blake and Derek are brothers, the sons of Richard Schwegel of St. Joseph, who also worked as a part-time Stearns County deputy for many years. Mathew is the son of Roger Schwegel of Winnipeg, the brother of Richard and Rob Schwegel.
