He is the former editor and publisher of the Dallas/Ft. Worth Heritage newspaper.

Dwyer's grandfather, Jay J. Dwyer, arrived in Oklahoma at age twenty-one, two years after statehood in 1909, and twice served as President of the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Association of Realtors, after his own father immigrated to America by himself from Ireland at age seventeen. The Dwyers have lived in Oklahoma in the more than one century since. John is a graduate of Duncan High School, the University of Oklahoma, and Dallas Theological Seminary.
Also, we have with us Jon M McGrath from the newly formed Sheriff's Foundation and recently it announced it's official formation and commitment to raise $300,000 for the purchase of body cams for the sheriff patrol deputies. The funds will also go towards the establishment of a citizen advisory board that will go through some of the same training that the officers have to go through. This should be very informative!
