Calls for San Mateo Sheriff Corpus's Resignation Intensify

Amid allegations of misconduct, local leaders and officials urge Sheriff Christina Corpus to step down.

An independent investigation revealed allegations of misconduct, including abuse of power and discriminatory behavior, within Sheriff Christina Corpus's administration.
Local congressional and state leaders have issued a joint statement calling for Corpus's resignation, citing damage to the Sheriff's Office and public safety concerns.
The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors has also expressed 'no confidence' in Corpus, demanding her immediate resignation and the removal of her chief of staff.
Sheriff Corpus has denied the allegations, claiming the investigation was politically motivated and has refused to resign, instead promoting her chief of staff to assistant sheriff.
The controversy follows a history of scandals in the Sheriff's Office, with Corpus's leadership now under scrutiny for exacerbating the department's issues.
