Azusa Names Veteran Officer as Chief

Nelson, 50, has been acting chief since July, when Lloyd Wood left to head the Pomona Police Department.
A 22-year veteran of the force, Nelson previously served as a felony investigator, patrol sergeant and detective sergeant. He was captain of the administrative division of the department at the time of his promotion to interim chief.
