After months of searching, Roswell officials finally announce a new police chief. Late Wednesday afternoon, officials tapped Al Solis to fill the position left open when Chief Rob Smith resigned in August. Solis is the current jail administrator at the Chaves County Detention Center. State representative Dennis Kintigh had been filling in as interim chief, but has to return to Santa Fe for the legislative session later this month.
