US EditionBay Area Supervisors Unanimously Vote to Force Sheriff Out of Office
- On June 24, 2025, the governing board of San Mateo County reached a unanimous decision to remove Sheriff Christina Corpus from her position at the county seat.
- This action came after voters approved Measure A in March, a county charter amendment granting the board the authority to dismiss a sheriff for justifiable reasons if four-fifths of the members agree.
- The board's decision was based on the results of an investigation conducted by a law firm, which included extensive documentation spanning hundreds of pages and statements from dozens of witnesses, alleging misconduct such as failure to perform sheriff duties and hindering an investigation.
- County Attorney John Nibbelin explained that Corpus would be formally informed of the board’s decision via email and given five calendar days to submit an appeal, which could result in a formal review conducted by an impartial official.
- Corpus denied all allegations, refused to resign, and her attorneys declared the removal process flawed; if appealed, she may remain in office pending further hearings.
