In less than 10 minutes on Monday the IFPD officially commissioned Lt. Joe Cawley to the rank of captain, Sgt. Bill Squires to the rank of lieutenant and Senior Patrol Officer Scott Killian to the rank of sergeant.
The ceremony was brief but in no way reflected how proud the IFPD is to bestow these great honors on these three fantastic officers.
They are all a great reflection of the caliber of officers at the IFPD!
Cawley
started with the IFPD in September 1993. Prior to his service with the police
department he worked as a welfare fraud investigator for the Idaho Department
of Health and Welfare.
As a member
of the IFPD, Cawley has served in patrol, detectives, training and as the
public information officer. He also spent some time at the Idaho Falls Airport
assisting with the development of TSA policies. He has been recognized many
times, including Officer of the Year in 2005.
Squires was
hired by the department in September 1995. He has served in many capacities as
an officer, including working in the narcotics and intelligence division.

POST certified instructor and a firearms and tactics instructor. He is
currently the SWAT Tactical Team Leader. He has been recognized many times for
