Taos Names Rick Anglada New Police Chief
Taos swore in Rick Anglada as police chief in Council Chambers on December 29. A two-decade veteran of the New Mexico State Police, Anglada returned from brief retirement to lead the Taos department, succeeding Daron Syling who resigned to be near family in Alamogordo. In a career starting at age 18, Anglada once faced initial rejection, worked at a mine in Questa, then rejoined to finish his path and serve the community he recalls protecting since youth.
