Bill Oswalt

William "Bill" Oswalt was the chief of police of the Bemidji Police Department from 2006 to 2007. Following the murder of chief Vern Thurman, Deputy Oswalt ascended to the position of chief of police. During the investigation into Thurman's murder, Oswalt worked to shift suspicion away from his old friend Lester Nygaard. He would eventually retire from the position in 2007, handing it over to deputy Molly Solverson, citing the fact that he was unable to cope with the job's emotional stress.
