LaGuerta is the captain of Miami Metro's homicide department. In this role she is in charge of most murder investigations on which Dexter Morgan works. She is usually the face in front of the TV cameras, letting her detectives handle the investigation while she manages media. She is a tough, hard-nosed cop but is skillful at using personal relationships to her advantage and is not above employing ethically dubious tactics to further her career. LaGuerta is an especially hard working member of Metro Metro, usually seeming to prioritize work over everything else in her life. LaGuerta had been partners with James Doakes, with whom she developed a close relationship. Not much of LaGuerta's early life is known, but she is of Cuban descent and was sent by herself to live in America when she was very young.
