Overview

• The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 on June 5 to issue a formal notice of intent to remove Sheriff Christina Corpus from office.
• A pre-removal hearing is scheduled for June 10 under county procedures.
• Investigators led by retired Judge LaDoris Cordell concluded that Corpus retaliated against staff, abused her power, used racist and homophobic language, and allowed improper rifle suppression access.
• Corpus denies all allegations and has filed a $10 million lawsuit against the Board and County Executive Mike Callagy, accusing them of withholding key investigative records.
• Final removal would require a four-fifths vote after a neutral hearing, and Corpus’s legal team plans to seek a stay of the proceedings in court.
