"Lazar said he was the "polar opposite" of Undersheriff Dan Perea and is ready to roll up his sleeves and take charge of the sheriff's office. Perea spent his career at SFPD before joining Corpus' executive team last year. "This is not going to be SFPD 2.0. I am not bringing that culture, and I'm not bringing that department here," Lazar said."
"Lazar said he does not plan to bring anyone from SFPD into the sheriff's office. When he picks his executive team, he wants to work with the deputies' and sergeants' unions who know the ins and outs, Lazar said. 'Last outside sheriff' He said he would work on developing current employees to make sure he is the "last outside sheriff." Lazar said when he was a sergeant, he learned to work in jails and held positions in San Francisco's facilities."
The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors selected three finalists for sheriff after interviewing seven applicants: former Santa Clara County Undersheriff Ken Binder, former San Francisco Police Assistant Chief David Lazar and Solano Community College Police Chief Brian Wynn Huynh Travis. The board will move those finalists to a public forum on Nov. 10 following the firing of Christina Corpus over allegations of retaliation and nepotism. Twelve people submitted applications but did not meet board requirements. Lazar received unanimous support from supervisors, emphasized not bringing SFPD culture or staff, pledged to work with unions and develop internal deputies, and said he would not cooperate with ICE.
