Overview

• The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a detailed, multi-step process for potentially removing Sheriff Christina Corpus from office under voter-approved Measure A.
• The finalized procedure includes notice of intent, a pre-removal conference, a board vote requiring a four-fifths majority, and the option for Corpus to appeal any removal decision.
• Chief Probation Officer John Keene was designated as the pre-removal hearing officer, with a preference for a retired judge if available to ensure impartiality.
• Sheriff Corpus, accused of misconduct and fostering a toxic workplace, denies all allegations and claims political bias, while her attorney has criticized the findings of the Cordell report.
• County officials estimate the removal process could take several months, with Board President David Canepa emphasizing fairness and due process over speed.
